Healthcare Providers' Ability to Prevent
Sexual Violence (2005-2008)
The Enhancing College and University Healthcare Providers' Ability to Prevent Sexual Violence Project was a two-year U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Cooperative Agreement (CA #05040). Funding was entirely provided by CDC's Department of Health and Human Services, National Center for Injury Prevention and Control, and Division of Violence Prevention.
Project Period

Project Goals
