Welcome to the New Central CAPT Update!

Hello and Welcome to the New Central CAPT Update!

For 2006, CSAP's Central Center for the Application of Prevention Technologies (Central CAPT) is pleased to present a new and improved way to provide updates to the prevention field. After transitioning from our paper-based CAPTions newsletter to an all electronic email list, we now are happy to present even more options for receiving this information. Starting today we will be using a combination of website, email and blog technology to inform the field about news and events at the Central CAPT. We will also be posting general news items of interest to the prevention field. Listed below are the ways you can access this information:

Email

All updates will be simultaneously posted via email, web site and blog/newsfeed. If you are receiving this message via email you are already subscribed to the email version of the Central CAPT update, and there will be special instructions at the bottom of the message for you to manage your subscription. If you would like to subscribe to the Central CAPT Update, you may send a message to centralcaptupdate-subscribe@ccapt.org and you will receive a message to confirm your subscription to the list.

Web

The Central CAPT Update has a home on the web at: http://CentralCaptUpdate.blogspot.com

Newsfeed

The Central CAPT Update is using blogging technology (and the Blogger service) to create updates. These updates can be subscribed to using newsreading software such as Newsgator, the Firefox web browser or the Thunderbird email client. For more information about this technology please see:

This message is our starting point. Stay tuned for actual news and updates from the field of substance abuse prevention. We anticipate that messages will go out 2 to 3 times a week and we welcome your comments and suggestions. You can send email comments to centralcapt@ccapt.org, and you can post comments about the updates on the website.

Welcome!
The Central CAPT Update Team.
