Get The Facts On Drug Abuse (NAPSA)—The questions teens ask about drug use and abuse might surprise some adults. Since 2007, the National Institute on Drug Abuse’s (NIDA) annual Drug Facts Chat Day has offered high school students from across the country the opportunity to set the record straight on drug abuse addiction through question-and-answer sessions with top NIDA scientists.

Talking with teens about these issues makes a difference: Teens who consistently learn about the risks of drugs from their parents are 50 percent less likely to use drugs and alcohol than those who do not, yet only 30 percent of teens report learning a lot from their parents.* To get the conversation started and to shatter the myths about drug abuse and addiction, NIDA developed the National Drug IQ Challenge.
