Dr. Andre Rosay appointed to Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Initiative Workgroup

Dr. André Rosay was recently appointed to the Governor’s Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Initiative Workgroup. The purpose of the workgroup is to inform decision making across Alaska to reduce domestic violence and sexual assault. The workgroup is currently focusing on establishing baseline data for the Governor’s Initiative to end the epidemic of domestic violence and sexual assault in Alaska. In addition, the workgroup is investigating strategies that will work to turn the curve on domestic violence and sexual assault. Members of the workgroup include state, local, and tribal representatives. Dr. Rosay presented baseline data from the 2010 Alaska Victimization Survey at the October 13, 2010 workgroup meeting in Anchorage.
