Exposure to Anti-Drug messages among teens dropping dramatically

Exposure to anti-drug messages among teens is dropping dramatically as drug use goes up.

According to Partnership at Drugfree.org, the largest survey on teen drug abuse -- tracking more than 46,000 youths in 8th, 10th and 12th graders -- found a big falloff in teens’ recalled exposure to drug abuse prevention messages over the past seven years.

New data from University of Michigan’s Monitoring the Future was released at a time when teens themselves report finding the drug-prevention messages to be effective.
