Collaborative Efforts To Prevent Child Sexual Abuse

Announcement Type: New.

Funding Opportunity Number: RFA 05038.

Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance Number: 93.136.

Dates: Application Deadline: April 4, 2005.

1. Funding Opportunity Description

   Authority: This program is authorized under section 301(a) and 394(b) of the Public Health Service Act, [42 U.S.C. 241(a) and 280b- 2(b), as amended.

   Background: Approximately 900,000 minor children in the United States are identified by child protective services as

   [[Page 5680]]

   victims of maltreatment on an annual basis. Additionally, in 2002, over 88,000 substantiated or indicated cases of child sexual abuse (CSA) were identified by the Administration on Children, Youth and Families. (National Clearinghouse on Child Abuse and Neglect, 2004). Child sexual abuse is associated with negative outcomes in both childhood and adulthood (e.g., anxiety, depression, self-harming behavior, substance abuse, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder, verbal and physical aggression, poor academic achievement, and low self-esteem and high risk sexual behavior). (Oddone Paolucci, Genuis, Violato, 2001; Putnam and Trickett, 1993; Browne and Finkelhor, 1987).

   Due to the serious short and long term consequences of CSA, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC's) focus for this effort is on primary prevention (i.e. preventing CSA from initially occurring). The specific focus of the prevention efforts should be on adult and community responsibility in the prevention of perpetration of child sexual abuse. No single factor explains the perpetration of child sexual abuse; rather it is a complex interplay of individual and contextual factors and influence (i.e. individual, relationship, community, and societal) (Krug, et al). Thus, prevention programs should address multiple levels of influence including individual, relationship, community, and societal levels as represented by the World Report on Violence and Health (Krug, et al. 2002).

   For the purposes of this announcement, the following definitions apply:

   Child: A person under eighteen years of age. Also referred to as ``minor child'' in this announcement.

   Child sexual abuse: ``Child sexual abuse involves any sexual activity with a child where consent is not or cannot be given. This includes sexual contact that is accomplished by force or threat of force, regardless of the age of the participants, and all sexual contact between an adult and a child, regardless of whether there is deception or the child understands the sexual nature of the activity. Sexual contact between an older and a younger child also can be abusive if there is a significant disparity in age, development, or size, rendering the younger child incapable of giving informed consent. The sexually abusive acts may include sexual penetration, sexual touching, or non-contact sexual acts such as exposure or voyeurism.'' (From the APSAC Handbook on Child Maltreatment, 2nd edition, 2002).

   Prevention of CSA: Prevention approaches are on a continuum from those that take place before CSA has occurred to prevent initial perpetration or victimization (i.e., PRIMARY prevention) to those that take place after CSA has occurred to address the consequences of CSA and to prevent it from re-occurring. Although all of these approaches are important, the main emphasis of this project is on the primary prevention of perpetration. The next level of emphasis of this project is on the early identification of perpetration with the hope of preventing re-occurrence.

   Prevention collaborative: A partnership that combines the expertise of child abuse prevention, sexual abuse prevention, public health, and other stakeholder agencies/organizations for the purpose of preventing child sexual abuse.

   Focus on Adult and Community responsibility: Prevention programs with this focus ensure that adults, both individually and collectively (e.g., as part of organizations and communities): (a) Understand the nature and scope of child sexual abuse, (b) recognize their role in the prevention of child sexual abuse, and (c) possess the knowledge and skills necessary to be actively engaged in child sexual abuse prevention efforts. For the purposes of this definition, adults include those with an interest in the safety and well-being of minor children (e.g. parents, spouses or other family members, teachers, friends, clergy, bystanders, etc.).

   Focus on the prevention of Perpetration: Prevention programs/ strategies with this focus attempt to prevent either: (a) The act of perpetration, or (b) the development of offending behavior in an individual.

   Social ecological framework: A framework for understanding the complex interplay of individual, relationship, social, political, cultural, and environmental factors that influence CSA (Krug et al., 2002), and also provides potential key points for prevention and intervention (Powell, Mercy, Crosby, Dahlberg, and Simon, 1999). For this project, we use the four-level ecological model presented in the World Report on Violence and Health (Krug et al., 2002).

   Provider behavior: Providers can be broadly defined to include clinical service providers, as well as providers of prevention programs.

   Purpose: To support existing state and local collaboratives in the prevention of child sexual abuse. More specifically, the purpose of this program is to integrate strategies that address (1) adult and community responsibility (2) the prevention of perpetration and (3) all levels of the social ecology (i.e. individual, relationship, community, and societal) into existing state and local level collaboratives that address CSA prevention.

   This program addresses the ``Healthy People 2010'' focus area(s) of Injury and Violence Prevention.

   Measurable outcomes of the program will be in alignment with the following performance goal for the National Center for Injury Prevention and Control (NCIPC): Goal 1--Increase the capacity of injury prevention and control programs to address prevention of injuries and violence.

   This announcement is only for non-research activities supported by CDC/ATSDR. If research is proposed, the application will not be reviewed. For the definition of research, please see the CDC Web site at the following Internet address: http://www.cdc.gov/od/ads/opspoll1.htm .

   Activities: Awardee activities for this program are as follows:

   1. Activities to increase capacity to have wide programmatic reach around prevention of child sexual abuse:

   Assess the makeup of the statewide collaborative for appropriate representation from traditional and non-traditional partners (e.g. faith leaders, health care provider organizations, etc.). Recruit missing partners in order to expand the reach of the collaborative.

   2. Activities to increase capacity to integrate prevention strategies that address (1) adult and community responsibility (2) the prevention of perpetration and (3) the social ecological model into existing programming.

   Develop a five year prevention plan integrating previously conducted adult and community responsibility and perpetration prevention programming, using logic modeling, and informed by existing data (e.g. statewide survey of existing child sexual abuse programming, surveys, etc.) to identify prevention strategies that addresses adult and community responsibility, perpetration prevention, and multiple levels of the social ecological model to be implemented in one or more local settings. Planning should be in partnership with local level partners. Since the prevention plan extends beyond the 2-year program period, the plan should address strategies for garnering support for the implementation of the plan. Priority activities should be those that address a level of the social ecology not previously addressed by the applicant.

   Implement at least one priority activity from the prevention plan in the two-year program period.

   [[Page 5681]]

   Attend and participate in technical assistance and planning meetings coordinated by the CDC for all cooperative agreement recipients (two staff members; two meetings per year; two days per meeting. One meeting will be held in Atlanta; one meeting will be held in the same city as one of the funded sites.).

   3. Activities to increase evaluation capacity:

   Create an evaluation subcommittee within the prevention collaborative to develop state and/or local evaluation plans. These evaluation plans should include, but are not limited to, the assessment of changes in capacity, provider behavior, and community norms.

   Implement evaluation plan(s).

   Conduct at least one community (or state level) survey addressing community norms and provider behavior around prevention of CSA, particularly on adult and community responsibility in the prevention of perpetration.

   Develop and implement measures of increased prevention capacity at state and local levels.

   Collaborate with other cooperative agreement recipients and CDC in the development of core components for the community survey and cross-site evaluation.

   Submit required reports on time.

   In a cooperative agreement, CDC staff is substantially involved in the program activities, above and beyond routine grant monitoring.

   CDC Activities for this program are as follows:

   Provide updated information related to the purposes and activities of this program announcement.

   Provide technical assistance and consultation, if requested, on all aspects of recipient activities, including:

   [ctrcir] Assessment of the makeup of the state and local collaboratives.

   [ctrcir] Development of a 5-year prevention plan.

   [ctrcir] The development of the state and local evaluation plan, including but not limited to the community survey.

   Facilitate any cross-site evaluation in collaboration with cooperative agreement recipients.

   Facilitate the technical assistance and planning meetings that will provide opportunities for awardees to increase knowledge and skills, learn from each other, share resources, and work collaboratively to address issues related to child sexual abuse prevention (two meetings per year, two days per meeting).

   Review evaluation information for presentation and publication.

3. Eligibility Information

   III.1. Eligible Applicants

   Applications may be submitted by an organization with state-wide reach and expertise in the primary and/or secondary prevention of child sexual abuse who are current recipients of funds for the Collaborative Efforts to Prevent Child Sexual Abuse program, Program number 02124.

   The previous funding cycle was intended to allow for planning of child sexual abuse prevention efforts that focused on adult and community responsibility and the prevention of perpetration. This proposed funding cycle focuses on implementation, sustainability, and continued evaluation of these efforts.

   The competition for this cooperative agreement is being limited to current Collaborative Efforts to Prevent Child Sexual Abuse (Collaborative CSA), Program Number 02124 Program recipients for the following reasons:

   1. The three-year program period was a planning period for CDC, funded grantees and their partners to begin to understand and build the framework for child sexual abuse prevention that focused on adult and community responsibility and perpetrator prevention.

   2. The two year program period for this proposed cooperative agreement will be an implementation and evaluation period where grantees and their state and local partners apply the lessons learned from the previous cycle to integrate the concepts of: (1) Adult and community responsibility; (2) perpetration prevention; and (3) addressing multiple levels of the social ecology to build and implement a comprehensive prevention framework and evaluation plan.

   3. An additional two years will allow for the previously funded grantees to more strategically integrate the concepts of adult and community responsibility, perpetration prevention, and programming at all levels of the social ecology into their current state and local efforts to build long term sustainability of these efforts.

   4. Because of the necessary planning period in the Collaborative CSA program, an additional two years is needed to build the evaluation capacity of the funded applicants in order for the state and local level evaluation to produce reliable, valid and useful results that can inform the field.

   III.2. Cost Sharing or Matching

   Matching funds are not required for this program.
