Evidence-based substance use prevention campaigns have been proven to reduce substance use, but their success requires a deep understanding of the audience and the unique motivations behind their behaviors. This #SubstanceUsePreventionMonth, we’re celebrating the incredible impact substance use prevention campaigns have had in reducing use across the country. We’re proud of our work with LA County in creating our meth prevention campaign MethFree LA. Based on extensive audience research and insights, MethFree LA helped 82% of campaign-aware individuals who had previously experimented with the substance reduce their meth use.
