Abstract:
The Department of Defense (DoD) remains committed to mitigating harmful behaviors that harm personnel and hinder military readiness. DoD's Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Office (SAPRO) and the Division of Violence Prevention (DVP) within the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) established a partnership to build capacity for primary prevention though a wide-ranging training and technical assistance (TTA) system, The Integrated Prevention Technical Assistance Center (IPTAC). The system serves as a support system within the Interactive Systems Framework (ISF). The goal for IPTAC's TTA support is to build capacity for integrated primary prevention and build sustainability for prevention in complex military environments. To assess the effectiveness of IPTAC, the system is evaluated on what TTA is delivered, the skills and knowledge increase in TTA participants, participant satisfaction with TTA received, and participant application or intent for application of skills. Early results are positive; however, these results could be improved partly through ensuring a larger focus on tailoring to military contexts within all TTA activities. This article describes the creation of IPTAC, the role of the ISF in the implementation of TTA, and the evaluation of IPTAC. Implications for TTA delivery in the military and civilian sectors are discussed.
