Mrvan seeking federal funds for child sexual abuse prevention research

"I believe that increasing funding for child sexual abuse prevention research activities will be a crucial investment in the continued fight to protect our most vulnerable population," Mrvan said. "Most importantly, this research will be used to develop and disseminate effective prevention strategies to ensure that evidence-based intervention practices make it into the hands of parents, educators, youth-serving organizations, and other stakeholders dedicated to keeping children safe from sexual abuse."
