The Johns Hopkins Center for Communication Programs (CCP) was founded over 30 years ago by Phyllis Tilson Piotrow as a part the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health's department of Health, Behavior, and Society and is located in Baltimore, Maryland, United States.[1]
CCP's goal is to advance the science of communication in order to improve health outcomes and save lives through programs such as knowledge management, social and behavior change communication, training and capacity building, strategic advocacy, Entertainment-Education and research and evaluation.[2] The Center for Communication Programs works in over 60 countries, like Angola, Bangladesh, Botswana, Côte d'Ivoire, Nigeria (Centre for Communication Programs Nigeria),[3] and Ethiopia. CCP aims to improve a span of health issues such as HIV/AIDS, malaria, reproductive health, family planning, water and sanitation, tobacco control, nutrition, avian and pandemic influenza, maternal and child health, and gender.[1] CCP partners with many programs both domestically and abroad that seek to advance the health status of nations suffering from these health conditions and more.[4]
