April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month, a campaign designed to raise awareness
about sexual violence and provide methods to prevent it. In honor of Sexual
Assault Awareness Month, Just
Science interviewed Pat Speck, a board-certified family nurse
practitioner and professor at the University of Alabama - Birmingham School of
Nursing, about sexual assault testing and victim-centered care.
Sexual assault
evidence collection has changed dramatically over the years. From the original
test tubes and cotton stoppers to the advanced sexual assault kits in use
today, advancements in science have fundamentally altered the process of
testing for evidence of sexual assault. Speck discusses her research, the
importance of trauma-informed care and the evolution of sexual assault evidence
collection. Go to https://forensiccoe.org/saam19/ to
