About Northeast CAPT

CSAP’s Northeast Center for the Application of Prevention Technologies (CAPT) is one of five regional centers funded by the Center for Substance Abuse Prevention. Our mission is to support the application of evidence-based substance abuse prevention programs and strategies at the regional, state and local levels; and to enhance collaboration between and within each level.

We do this by:

  • Promoting an accurate understanding of effective, evidence-based approaches by
    providing products, training, and technical assistance via a variety of formats and
    media
  • Supporting the development of those skills necessary to plan and implement
    effective programs
  • Developing and support key, strategic collaborations
  • Increasing access to and use of technology in our region
  • Implementing a process and outcome evaluation that will track the extent to which effective prevention strategies are being applied
CSAP’s Northeast CAPT is housed at Education Development Center, Inc., an international, non-profit organization dedicated to enhancing learning, promoting health, and fostering a deeper understanding of the world.
