The CAPTA legislation created what to administer grants and disseminate information?

• A. Administer grant programs.
• B. Provide free legal counsel to families.
• C. Manage all state education records.
• D. Direct public health campaigns.

Answer: (A)

CAPTA’s purpose was to strengthen child protection by providing federal support to states and by sharing information about abuse and neglect. It created a system to administer grant programs—funding state prevention, treatment, and services—and to disseminate information to professionals and the public through national information resources. The other options don’t fit CAPTA’s function: it isn’t about providing free legal counsel, managing all state education records, or directing public health campaigns. The emphasis is on funding mechanisms and information dissemination to support child protection efforts.
