“YOU THINK YOU KNOW.” AN AWARENESS CAMPAIGN FOR YOUTH, YOUNG ADULTS, AND PARENTS ON THE DANGERS OF COUNTERFEIT PRESCRIPTION PILLS
Due to the increase in availability and accessibility of counterfeit prescription drugs, prevention coalitions in Connecticut developed a marketing campaign to educate communities and encourage conversations about the counterfeit pills crisis, with the ultimate goal of preventing overdose deaths. The campaign, “You Think You Know,” was designed to target youth, young adults, and parents/caregivers, raising awareness about how teens and young adults are accessing prescription drugs, why they are using them, the lethal risks of obtaining counterfeit pills, and available prevention, treatment, and support resources. In this presentation you will learn how the campaign was developed, the challenges the team faced, their successes and how to access their toolkit of free resources for anyone to use. You will also get tips for implementing a campaign in your community.

MARIJUANA: WHAT TEENS AND PARENTS SHOULD KNOW
Recent political changes in relation to marijuana are only part of the story. The publicized and politically charged world of drug policy has undergone immense changes over the past several years and those changes manifest not just in policy but also in the physical makeup of the cannabis plant. Not only has the perception of the plant changed, the actual plant itself has undergone dramatic changes as it has been industrialized and brought into a commercial market. As public opinion has softened towards cannabis the effects of consuming today’s marijuana remain poorly understood by many.
