Rape Prevention Education

PI:
Iowa Department of Public Health, (IDPH)

Funding Source: CDC

The IDPH was funded by the CDC to implement local programmatic efforts in Rape Prevention Education (RPE). Local agencies throughout Iowa receive technical and grant support to implement local programs and conduct evaluation of their efforts. For the past decade, the UI IPRC has collaborated with the IDPH to conduct primary prevention training, to assist in the development of strategic plans, and to evaluate RPE progress and impact.  In the past year, the IDPH with support from the UI IPRC has partnered with other states throughout the country to develop cross-state collaborations to develop common language and to implement evidence-based approaches.  This collaboration will continue as a multi-state effort, and the UI IPRC will continue involvement in evaluating these activities.

National Violent Death Reporting System
OEHport002

PI: Lisa Roth
University of Iowa, College of Public Health
Injury Prevention Research Center

Funding Source: CDC/NCIPC

The National Violent Death Reporting System (NVDRS) provides states and communities with a clearer understanding of violent deaths to guide local decisions about efforts to prevent violence and track progress over time. NVDRS is the only state-based surveillance (reporting) system that pools data on violent deaths from multiple sources into a usable, anonymous database. These sources include state and local medical examiner, coroner, law enforcement, toxicology, and vital statistics records.  NVDRS covers all types of violent deaths—including homicides and suicides—in all settings and for all age groups. NVDRS may include data on mental health problems; recent problems with a job, finances, or relationships; physical health problems; and information about circumstances of death. Such data is far more comprehensive than what is available elsewhere. Click here to read more about the Iowa Violent Death Reporting System IAVDRS.
