As a secondary focus of the project, ODH is also seeking more information on services and resources that best support Black/African American survivors of sexual violence. This information will support priorities for future program funding through the Sexual Assault Services Program grant awards, and also contributes to prevention as support for victim/survivors to lesson harm is an additional strategy of CDC’s STOP SV Technical Package to Prevent Sexual Violence.
