Program to Prevent Violence Against Women Expands

Armed with a $2 million grant from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the University of Kentucky will work with Kentucky teenagers to combat and prevent dating violence through the Green Dot prevention program, a model pioneered on the UK campus. The grant will involve outreach to high school students as well as follow-up studies to determine the effectiveness of the Green Dot strategy in reducing dating and sexual violence among teenagers.
