National Drug and Alcohol Facts Week

NIDA, National Drug & Alcohol Facts week

DEA’s partner, the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), is gearing up for National Drug and Alcohol Facts Week® (NDAFW) 2023 to be held March 20-26. NDAFW is an annual, week-long health observance that inspires dialogue about the science of drug use and addiction among youth. NDAFW offers educators, prevention specialists, counselors, and other youth intermediaries flexible programming to identify topics of greatest interest to their community and science-based information and resources that help improve knowledge and awareness, while also promoting skills that support informed decision-making, healthy coping, and other skills that are critical to the prevention of substance use among youth. For questions, please contact NIDA at drugfacts@nida.nih.gov for assistance and use the register link to register an event.
