CADCA is proud to partner with Kenvue in promoting the Over-the-Counter (OTC) Medicine Safety program, a free curriculum for teaching health literacy and medicine safety as a cornerstone of primary prevention.  For many years, CADCA has worked with community-based prevention coalitions, youth leaders, and statewide representatives to train and disseminate this powerful prevention program.

We are excited to release the Over-the-Counter Medicine Safety Guide: Building Health Literacy in the Community.  This publication serves to prepare and guide coalitions in primary medicine safety efforts, health promotion messaging, and program implementation, while also offering a toolkit to access authoritative sources on medicine safety initiatives.

We invite you to download the resource and review the range of strategies, coalition processes, and practical tools, and to reach out to us to help bring the OTC Medicine Safety program to your community!
