The materials in the kit are designed to engage and equip peer educators and student leaders with timely and practical information, resources and student-driven programming ideas to educate their peers about prescription drug abuse prevention and treatment. Many of the activities use existing channels (for example, student health services, freshmen year experience) to help student leaders easily work in messages about the dangers of prescription drug abuse, especially when used along with other substances like alcohol. Maximizing Your Role as a Teen Influencer: What You Can Do To Help Prevent Teen Prescription Drug Abuse This free, downloadable turn-key workshop is designed to educate and equip teen influencers - parents, grandparents, teachers, coaches, community and school-based healthcare providers and others - with credible information addressing the growing problem of prescription drug abuse by teens and effective strategies to take action to help prevent it. Key elements of the "Teen Influencer" program include: a 35-slide set (with speaker's notes) PowerPoint presentation; comprehensive Presenters Guide with a diverse and tailored series of downloadable participant handouts; downloadable brochure targeting those active within the school setting, including school administrators guidance counselors, teachers, coaches, school nurses, and school resource officers; downloadable brochure targeting community-based healthcare professionals - including prescribers and pharmacists; participant and Presenter Evaluation forms. Recovery Opens Doors: An Online Resource for Young People in Recovery Coming by August 30, 2012 at An interactive web platform designed by and for young people in recovery, ages 17-25, many of whom are directly involved in on-campus recovery programs.

Recovery Opens Doors features six doorways/portals to the following topical areas: LEARN THE FACTS; FIND YOUR VOICE; SPEAK FOR CHANGE; PASS IT ON; TOOLS YOU CAN USE AND THEN SOME; and GET HELP.

5 From The National Institute on Drug Abuse National Institute on Drug Abuse: Easy-to-Read Drug Facts This versatile website appeals to those of any age and educational background. It features easy-to-read facts about prescription drug abuse for the average person as well as various publications for educators and teachers. It includes specific drug facts about prescription and OTC abuse, health effects of certain drugs, effects of drug abuse, and prevention and treatment. The publications that are available are assembled into easy to find categories such as type of audience, drugs of abuse, and other drug topics. AWARxE: Get Informed See: From the National Association of Boards of Pharmacy Illegal prescription drugs were deadly for Justin Pearson -- Justin Pearson, a resident of St Cloud, MN, died tragically at age 24 because of a prescription drug overdose. Justin died on December 25, 2006, after taking a mixture of prescription drugs which he ordered from an illegal website. Websites like these are illegal and sell prescription drugs without requiring legitimate prescriptions. In Justin s case, he was able to easily order drugs from an illegal Web site and the drugs were mailed to him. Taking the drugs without a doctor s prescription and mixing high doses of different prescription drugs led to Justin s death. Justin Pearson s story was the inspiration for the AWARxE campaign. AWARERX.ORG is an information source providing authoritative resources about medication safety, prescription drug abuse, medication disposal, and safely buying medications on the Internet. From the Office of National Drug Control Policy, The White House National Youth Anti-Drug Media Campaign See: The youth-targeted Above the Influence campaign balances broad prevention messaging at the national level with targeted efforts at the local community level. The Above the Influence brand remains one of the most widely recognized youth brands in the country and continues to strengthen teen anti-drug beliefs. 5

CHPA and its members are involved in a multi-pronged effort to curb the abuse of over-the-counter cough medicines containing dextromethorphan with the help of a host of partners, including the Partnership for a Drug-Free America, the Community Anti-Drug Coalitions of America, and D.A.R.E. America. 6
7 From the U.S. Department of Education, Higher Education Center for Alcohol, Drug Abuse and Violence Prevention Preventing Other Drug Use on Campus See: While alcohol is the drug of choice on most college campuses, the use of drugs other than alcohol is also a serious concern. According to Monitoring the Future (MTF) research, college students typically use drugs other than alcohol less than their noncollege-attending peers. The term other drug use refers to any drug besides alcohol. The illicit drugs most frequently used by college students include marijuana, hallucinogens, narcotics, and amphetamines. Safe Lanes on Campus: A Guide for Preventing Impaired Driving and Underage Drinking See: This publication describes a variety of prevention strategies that campus and community prevention coalitions can consider as they develop a strategic plan for combating underage drinking and DUI, with a particular emphasis on creating environmental change. With this publication, prevention planners can develop and implement strategies appropriate to their campus and community, based on an assessment of the environmental factors that encourage alcohol problems among local students and on the scientific evidence of what works. From the Survey Research Center, Institute for Social Research University of Michigan Monitoring the Future A Continuing Study of American Youth See: An ongoing study of the behaviors, attitudes, and values of American secondary school students, college students, and young adults. Each year, a total of approximately 50,000 8th, 10th and 12th grade students are surveyed (12th graders since 1975, and 8th and 10th graders since 1991). In addition, annual followup questionnaires are mailed to a sample of each graduating class for a number of years after their initial participation. 7

This program urges communities to educate parents and youth about the potential dangers associated with prescription and OTC medicine abuse and to hold educational events throughout the month of October to spur discussions in the community. Rx Abuse Prevention Toolkit: From Awareness to Action See: This toolkit provides the facts, approaches, strategies and messages that coalitions can use to move communities beyond that first stage of awareness into action. The toolkit provides strategies that coalitions can use for each of seven steps to achieve community change. In addition, the toolkit includes templates, such as sample news releases and op-eds; and step-by-step guidance on how to hold a prescription drug take back program and educational events.
