The National Institute on Drug Abuse’s (NIDA) Drug Facts Week began Monday, October 31 and runs through Sunday, November 6, 2011. National Drug Facts Week (NDFW) works to bring together teens and scientific experts in communities across the country to discuss the real facts and shatter the myths about drug abuse.
Research has shown that a key ingredient for preventing drug use is ensuring that communities, parents, and kids have the most up-to-date, scientific information about drug use and their effects on the brain and body. By joining forces and bringing young adults and scientific experts together with a common goal, NDFW aims to educate teens and encourage conversations.
NIDA will hold community events across the country through November 6. For more information and to view the latest version of NIDA’s “Shatter the Myth” booklet, click here.
