FORM 990, PART III, Line 4a The Medicine Abuse Project The Medicine Abuse Project is a five-year action campaign that aims to prevent half a million teens from abusing medicine by the year 2017. The campaign provides comprehensive resources for parents and caregivers, law enforcement officials, health care providers, educators and others so that everyone can take a stand and help end medicine abuse. The Medicine Abuse Project website includes information about prevention of prescription drug abuse, painkiller addiction, and over-the-counter (OTC) medicine abuse. It provides information about how to dispose of medicine and how to safeguard the medicine in your home, as well as lists medicine abuse facts and includes comprehensive information about the most abused prescription drugs. Form 990, Part III, Line 4d Other program services Communications The Partnership for Drug-Free Kids applies its unique expertise in communications to help reach families every day with the information they need to address teen substance abuse and addiction. We offer web-based educational tools, a Parents Toll-Free Helpline and other resources that translate the science of drug use and addiction, providing parents with direct support to prevent and cope with teen drug and alcohol abuse. We rely on the media to donate time and space, and on advertising agencies to volunteer their resources for advertising campaigns. In turn, we secure $73 million in donated national and local media space from our dedicated media partners. Through our public education initiatives, our public service announcements make up the largest single-issue public service campaign in advertising history. In 2013, Advertising agencies donated time, talent and production in the amount of $3.5 million. Our website, drugfree.org has had more than 6 million visitors. The Alliance Program is comprised of state and local government agencies and nonprofit organizations; operating in 20 markets. These partners are the foundation of locally-based education projects. This integrated network is continually finding new ways to do their work and new partners to enlist in their ongoing efforts to address emerging drug threats and to connect the public with local resources. These alliances are further supported by our staff who travel the nation providing technical assistance, supporting media solicitation, acting as spokespersons and striving to make certain that the Partnership for Drug-Free Kids continues to evolve to better support community needs. The Meth Project The Meth Project is a large-scale prevention program aimed at reducing Meth use through public service messaging, public policy, and community outreach. Central to the program is a research-based marketing campaign, community action programs, and an in-school lesson all designed to communicate the risks of Meth use. The following Meth Project states are members of The Partnership for Drug-Free Kids: Colorado Meth Project, Georgia Meth Project, Hawaii Meth Project, Idaho Meth Project, Montana Meth Project, Wyoming Meth Project. Performance Enhancing Drugs The Partnership for Drug-Free Kids educates families, coaches and athletes on the risks of steroids and performance enhancing substances. Major League Baseball has supported the Partnership for Drug-Free Kids's message over the last several years with more than $42 million in media exposure and grassroots initiatives to build awareness for the perils of performance enhancing drugs and steroid use. The Commissioner's Play Healthy Awards are a culmination of both organizations' comprehensive nationwide efforts, including the Play Healthy website, to educate families on the risks of steroids and performance-enhancing substances and to recognize youth coaches and student athletes who embody the spirit of teamwork and healthy, drug-free competition. Community Education As part of our grassroots efforts, the Partnership for Drug-Free Kids' staff educate and mobilize communities about the dangers of alcohols and drugs. Collaborating with local law enforcement officers, treatment and prevention professionals, Partnership staff conducts PACT360, Parents360 and Latino360 trainings to help parents talk to and connect with their children and also to take action if they suspect their child is using. This program was funded through grants from the Department of Justice and, to date, more than 40,000 parents, law enforcement officers and community leaders have been trained.
