Dispelling Drug Myths

Don't miss CADCA TV's "Dispelling Drug Myths" show debuting April 28. During this program, hear the facts about drugs from the experts. Listen to them dispel some of the big myths people hear and spread. Learn how to use facts to get the word out via social norms campaigns and other fact-based methods.

Because the need for correct information is so important, the National Institute on Drug Abuse is making it a priority to answer questions teens and others have by creating a drug facts week. We’ll visit a Virginia school that is being proactive and helping students learn what’s true so they can spread the word to others.

The show is hosted by CADCA’s Mary Elizabeth Elliott, Vice President of Communications, Membership, and Information Technology. Our guests are NIDA’s Ruben Baler, PhD, Health Science Administrator; Margaret Polovchak, Director, Maine Community Youth Assistance Foundation in Des Planes, Ill.; and Dr. Paula Riggs, Director of Psychiatric Services for Adolescents at the University of Colorado at Denver and the Health Sciences Center and affiliated Addiction, Research and Treatment Services.
