Gaps Anaysis and Action Planning

The RFCC helped to organize a major forum in Southern Arizona in April 2006 on the topic of sexual assualt and domestic violence against women, and a similar forum in the Northen Arizona area in October 2006. A follow-up to the April forum was held in Nogales in October 2006. Participants in the Southern Arizona Forum worked during a gaps analysis and action planning session to record comments and recommendations around these issues. The resulting report is compelling reading for anyone working in rural health. April 2006 Southern Arizona Report.
