Compassionate Care for Rape Victims

Compassionate Care for Rape Victims (CCRV)

On March 13, 2008, Wisconsin Act 102 was signed into law requiring all Wisconsin hospital emergency rooms to provide medically accurate oral and written information regarding emergency contraception (EC) to all victims of sexual assault and to dispense EC immediately upon request.

CCRV - Wisconsin Act 102

  • Requires medically and factually accurate oral and written information about the use and effectiveness of emergency contraception (EC) to all female rape victims of reproductive potential who present in the emergency room.
  • Requires on-site provision of first dose and all subsequent doses (if applicable) of EC to female victims who choose to take it.
  • Requires oral information to all victims of sexual assault regarding options for reporting the crime.
  • Requires oral information to all victims of sexual assault regarding options for evidence collection.

CCRV 2015 Toolkit

The Wisconsin Alliance for Women’s Health developed this toolkit to assist Wisconsin hospital and providers to reach full compliance with Wisconsin Act 102. This twenty-page guide includes sample protocols, a directory of community resources, and a copy of the law.Any questions regarding compliance with this law should contact Cremear Mims, Director, Bureau of Health Services at (608) 264-9887 or (414) 227-4556. DHS Compliance Memo

Wisconsin CCRV Studies

In 2010, WAWH conducted a follow-up study to determine the effectiveness of the law, uncover barriers to compliance and provide recommendations for next steps. The results of this study are included in survey highlight report.
