Welcome to Don't Judge a Book by Its Cover: Using Feasibility Assessment to Select Prevention Programs, an online workshop sponsored by CSAP's Northeast Center for the Application of Prevention Technologies (CAPT).

This exciting new course is designed to help you choose an evidence-based prevention program that is the right fit for your organization and community. As not all programs work equally well in all settings, this course will help you sift through and weigh the multiple factors that influence program success. It introduces a tool that will help you objectively select programs that match your organization's or community's capabilities. If you've already selected a program, the tool can help you systematically identify areas you may need to address prior to implementation.

As a participant in this event, you will have the opportunity to do the following:

• Identify criteria to guide the selection of an appropriate prevention program from a set of evidence-based programs
• Determine the fit among organizational capacity, community conditions, and programs requirements
• Apply a feasibility assessment model to a specific prevention program
• Define program fidelity and adaptation
• Describe elements to consider in effective program replication and adaptation

This course will allow you to meet other practitioners in an innovative, online forum. You will participate in moderated Web-based discussions, where you can exchange ideas and learn from your colleagues in the field. You will also participate in online activities that let you immediately apply what you have learned.

This course is based on a face-to-face training developed by CSAP's Northeast CAPT, in collaboration with Social Science Research and Evaluation, Inc.
