Primary Prevention. Primary Prevention is an allowable activity under this Grant however it is not a required activity. As such it is important to distinguish between prevention activities/programs and education/awareness programs or activities. Primary Prevention is defined as follows: • Education strategies designed to prevent violence before it occurs by focusing on conditions that reduce violence. Efforts should be comprehensive (address multiple levels of the social ecology- individual, relationship, community, and society), culturally and age-appropriate, collaborative, evidence based/informed and incorporate evaluation. Prevention efforts are most effective when provided over time (more than once) with a particular audience/community. Prevention is about behavior change; therefore, strategies must move beyond knowledge and awareness and include opportunities for audiences to learn, practice, and adopt skills and behavior changes that create environments/cultures free from violence.
