About Central CAPT

The Central Center for the Application of Prevention Technologies (CAPT) is administered by the Minnesota Institute of Public Health with funding provided through a grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, Center for Substance Abuse Prevention (CSAP).

The fundamental mission of Central CAPT and the national CAPT system is to bring research to practice. The CAPT system is designed to work with States and local communities, policymakers and local leaders, agencies and task forces to apply science-based prevention technology that works. The process of transferring proven research to daily application involves taking knowledge and packaging it into practical, user-friendly formats, and facilitating its adoption in the field.
