Programs in Kansas Presented as a Model to Address Sexual Violence by Reducing Health Disparities
Christina Holt, assistant director at KU Life Span Institute’s Center for Community Health and Development (CCHD), and Belinda Flores, director of the Rape Prevention and Education (RPE) at the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, spoke at the National Sexual Assault Conference in San Francisco about efforts to reduce disparities and address social determinants of health.
“We have been shifting over the last five years to an increasing focus on intervening at the community and societal level, where a larger and more sustainable impact can be made” Holt said. “We’re working hard to address things like the socioeconomic, educational, and social policies that are maintaining social inequalities that are in our state.”
