AN EFFECTIVE DRUG EDUCATION AND DRUG PREVENTION PROGRAM

About the Program

Around the World

Public awareness campaigns utilize our drug prevention booklets in their activities. Supplementing the distribution of more than 17 million booklets are hundreds of thousands of anti-drug billboards and posters, nearly 50 million drug education handouts, tens of thousands of public awareness events and thousands of newspaper and television stories promoting the “live drug free” message. This is an astounding level of distribution for a private drug prevention effort. Their positive impact is felt in cities, towns and communities internationally.

The primary method by which The Truth About Drugs booklets are distributed is through “Say No to Drugs, Say Yes to Life” chapters.

These groups began as a grass-roots movement in the mid-1980s with the simple message, “Say No to Drugs, Say Yes to Life,” directed at teens and young adults who faced peer pressure to experiment with drugs. In the United States, the campaign was expanded to include a younger age group through the “Drug-Free Marshals” program, in which youth adopt a pledge to remain drug free and encourage others to do the same.

The Drug-Free Marshals campaign began in April 1993, when 200 youth between ages 6 and 13 were “sworn in” by the director of the Los Angeles Federal Bureau of Investigation's Drug Demand Reduction Program and actor John Travolta. The program has since expanded to Australia, Canada, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, South Africa, Taiwan, the United Kingdom and elsewhere. Millions of youth and adults, including legislators, teachers and law enforcement officials, have signed the drug-free pledge.
