PREVENT Act

This bill would require the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to maintain and expand a program on preventing child sexual abuse. The program would identify gaps in research and practice on preventing abuse before it happens. It would work to improve data collection on child sexual abuse, including abuse that uses technology, study risk and protective factors, and develop and spread evidence-based prevention strategies. The bill would authorize $6 million per year for fiscal years 2027 through 2031.
