INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- A sexual violence prevention plan put together by the Indiana State Department of Health is calling for better data collection on acts of sexual violence.
  

The plan nearly two years in the making sets six goals with multiple outcomes that the Health Department hopes to achieve within five years.
  

Among those goals are including key demographic groups in state and local efforts to prevent sexual violence and providing technical assistance to prevention programs.
  

The plan also includes calling for building Indiana's capacity to prevent sexual violence and making sure people know about the state's prevention plan.
  

The agency released parts of the plan at a meeting last week in Indianapolis.
