National Drug and Alcohol Facts Week

Event Date:
-

In 2019, 29% of high schoolers reported current alcohol use, and 37% reported ever using marijuana, according to the most recent Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS). The Center for Disease Control, Division of Adolescent and School Health reports that teens who drink or use drugs are more likely to be sexually active and less likely to use contraception than teens who do not.

Teens often get conflicting or inaccurate information about drugs and alcohol from friends, family, and the media. Help our nation’s youth stay safe and reach their goals by showing them the real truth about the risks of underage drinking and drug use. Take part in this year’s National Drug and Alcohol Facts Week® (NDAFW) and help SHATTER THE MYTHS® about drugs and alcohol!
