About National Drug Facts Week
National Drug Facts Week (NDFW), launched in 2010 by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, is a health observance week for teens that aims to shatter the myths about drugs and drug abuse. NDFW is an opportunity for teens to shatter the myths about drugs and drug abuse. In community and school events all over America, teens and experts will come together for an honest conversation about how drugs affect the brain, body and behavior. In school assemblies, after school clubs, athletic events, book clubs and other venues, students will be able to ask scientists questions about drugs, or discuss NIDA materials designed for teens.
