Join OJJDP in observing National Drug and Alcohol Facts Week (NDAFW) March 20-26, 2023. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) and the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism host the weeklong observance.
NIDA launched this annual observance in 2010 to encourage communities to host events that educate teens about the science of drug use and addiction. The NDAFW website offers links to events, resources, planning guides, activity and promotional ideas, and social media tips. NIDA will also offer videos and downloadable resources to support NDAFW events.
