Continuing the Dialogue: Learning from the Past & Looking to the Future of Intimate Partner Violence & Sexual Violence Prevention
In the early 2000s, CDC reviewed theoretical frameworks for sexual violence prevention and sought input from external partners in the field, resulting in the publication Sexual Violence Prevention: Beginning the Dialogue (2004), which helped to launch a national conversation about moving upstream to prevent violence before it occurs. Continuing the Dialogue: Learning from the Past and Looking to the Future of Intimate Partner Violence and Sexual Violence Prevention serves as a follow-up piece to Beginning the Dialogue, exploring lessons learned over the past 15 years and highlighting paths forward for the prevention field.
A follow-up to CDC's Beginning the Dialogue publication, Continuing the Dialogue aims to:
- Serve as a resource for prevention that is an update to Beginning the Dialogue
- Reflect how far the field has come in terms of both embracing primary prevention and implementing strategies across the Social Ecological Model
- Encourage a shift toward cross-sector and community-specific partnerships
- Highlight the direction in which the prevention field is moving
