NECA-ATTC mission is to build relationships and bridge the gap between research and practice in the public health arena to ensure the advancement of state-of-the-art techniques, evidence- based and promising practices, and supports for non-physician health and human services providers and other practitioners.

A program of Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health Department of Sociomedical Sciences, the New York City STD Prevention Training Center (NYC PTC) is dedicated to increasing the sexual health knowledge and skills of medical health professionals in the prevention, diagnosis, screening, management and treatment of sexually transmitted diseases.

The NECA-PTTC is managed by the Rutgers Center for Prevention Science and serves New Jersey, New York, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Its purpose is to strengthen the substance abuse prevention workforce through technology transfer activities, including the delivery of multifaceted training and technical assistance to improve knowledge and skills in prevention science and evidence-based prevention practices.

Funded by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), the MHTTC will work with organizations and practitioners who provide mental health services to strengthen their capacity to deliver effective, evidence-based interventions.
