National Drug and Alcohol Facts Week

Event Date:
-

According to the most recent Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS) data, 29% of high school youth. reported current alcohol use while 37% reported using marijuana one or more times in their life. Teens who drink or use drugs are more likely to be sexually active and less likely to use contraception when sexually active than teens who do not.

Teens often get conflicting or inaccurate information about drugs and alcohol from friends, family, and sometimes the media. Help our nation’s youth stay safe and reach their goals by setting the facts straight. Take part in this year’s National Drug and Alcohol Facts Week® (NDAFW), and help SHATTER THE MYTHS® about drugs and alcohol!
