Brief Description:

On December 1, 2016, the Secretary of Defense approved the U.S. Department of Defense
(DoD) Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Strategic Plan, 2017–2021, which identifies a
strategic document, the Prevention Plan of Action (PPoA), to guide DoD prevention efforts
within the military environment. The PPoA sets out a common language for defining,
developing, implementing, and evaluating primary prevention activities to prevent sexual assault
and harassment based on research and practices from military and civilian communities. The
PPoA states that employing a comprehensive approach composed of integrated, researchbased prevention activities, which are regularly evaluated, is needed to successfully prevent
sexual assault and harassment. The PPoA defines prevention activities as policies, programs,
practices, and processes. Read the full report for details.
