Tribal Prescription Drug Campaign

• HRSA Presentation (2 MB pdf)

Launched January 2012

Prescription drug abuse has increased over the past decade. The misuse of prescription drugs impacts our families, friends, and communities. The goal of this prevention campaign is to encourage community members to become aware of prescription drugs in their homes and environment, and to safeguard these medications to prevent abuse. Who needs to be involved in this effort? Everyone.
