Communications & Evaluation
Our communications and evaluation teams serve as the backbone of the CAPTC. They provide support across our service areas to amplify our innovative work.
Communications
Our multimedia communications team both supports CAPTC’s programs and produces original content. We have a podcast, Coming Together for Sexual Health, with four seasons completed. In addition, our communications team produces tailored content including videos, photography, websites, newsletters, and social media content. We also support internal community building among CAPTC staff members.
We conduct a competitive internship program three times per year, in which two undergraduate interns learn about the fields of public health, sexual health, and communications while contributing to the advancement of sexual health equity.
Evaluation
Evaluation is a key component in all our work at CAPTC. We have extensive experience creating data-driven training and e-learning products. Collecting and analyzing programmatic data has been a cornerstone of our work. We use program evaluation to understand and drive program implementation, measure program outcomes, and identify areas for improvement. CAPTC’s ultimate goal is to provide evidence-based information that can be used to enhance program effectiveness and allocate resources efficiently.
