Success Stories

The Cortland County Health Department partnered with CACTC to deliver a campaign around vaccines

This 2021 campaign aimed to increase public confidence in and uptake of vaccines. 

Rotary District 7170 partnered with CACTC to develop and deliver an opioid awareness campaign throughout its seven counties

This project focused on raising awareness of the dangers of opioids and resources of how/where to dispose of unused and unneeded medications. The campaign responded to growing concern about the accessibility of unused prescription and over-the-counter medications.

Cayuga County Drug Free Community Coalition partnered with CACTC to develop a social-norming campaign

This campaign was focused on youth alcohol and marijuana prevention. Social norms interventions like this aim to provide accurate information about peer group behaviors to correct misconceptions about norms. For example, presenting teens with accurate information about teen alcohol use rates, which may be lower than they assume. This can help alleviate the assumed peer pressure of an idea that "everyone is doing it."
