Operation Prevention Initiative

A new initiative seeks to prevent opioid misuse. Operation Prevention is a partnership between the Drug Enforcement Administration and Discovery Education, formed to educate middle and high school students about the impacts of prescription opioid misuse and heroin use. The free program uses e-learning to provide information to students, teachers and parents on drugs, detecting warning signs of abuse and how to break the cycle of drug abuse. Information on the program, including course materials and digital lesson plans, can be found on the initiative's website, http://www.operationprevention.com/.
