NIDA for Teens

The National Institute on Drug Abuse, a component of the National Institutes of Health, created this website to educate adolescents between 11 and 15 (as well as their parents and teachers) on the science behind drug abuse. The institute enlisted the help of teens in developing th esite to ensure that the content addresses appropriate questions and timely concerns. The site delivers science-based facts about how drugs affect the brain and body so that kids will be armed with better information to make healthy decisions. Elements such as animated illustrations, quizzes, and games are used throughout the site to clarify concepts, test and visitor’s knowledge, and make learning fun through interaction.
