Free K-12 science-based anti-drug curricula

Posted by on August 11, 2006

I am writing to you on behalf of the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), in the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). NIDA is the lead Federal agency for research on drug abuse and addiction and, like the Juvenile Council, works to encourage positive decisions and keep youth out of trouble by preventing substance abuse. To that effort, NIDA has created the NIDA Goes Back to School (NGBTS) campaign for children, teens, and the adults who influence them. The campaign is a source for FREE science-based publications and teaching materials for grades K-12. The materials emphasize the consequences of drug abuse on the brain and the body, and aim to increase scientific literacy.

Visit http://www.BacktoSchool.drugabuse.gov or call (800) 729-6686 to order FREE publications and teaching materials for grades K-12. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you would like to place a bulk order or if I can be of assistance with your program.
