There are less than two weeks till National Drug Facts Week, January 26-February 1. If you act fast, you can still organize a great school- or community-based event. Deadline for ordering printed booklets and posters is this Thursday! And your high school must be registered in order for students to participate in the live Drug Facts Chat Day, January 30. (Anyone can watch.)

National Drug Facts Week (NDFW) aims to shatter the myths about drugs and drug abuse for teens, using science and support from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) and locally-organized events. NIDA provides a wealth of ideas and materials for schools, groups and event organizers, including many that can be used anytime:

• NDFW teaching guide
• NIDA teaching guides 
• Activity ideas for NDFW events
• Online toolkit for promoting NDFW events
• National Drug IQ Challenge quiz
• Marijuana: Facts for Teens 
• Free materials to download or order
• Drug Facts Chat Day, a live online chat held between high school students and NIDA scientists
