WASHINGTON – The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration today
launched CampusDrugPrevention.gov, a new website focused on preventing and
addressing college drug use.
“We must talk to folks about the dangers and consequences of
drug abuse, and base those conversations on facts and science,” said DEA Acting
Administrator Chuck Rosenberg. “With this website, we put valuable information
in the hands of higher education leaders who can use it to enlighten, teach,
and change the culture.”
This new website is DEA’s latest effort to support drug
abuse prevention programs on college campuses and in surrounding communities.
The website was created as a one-stop resource for professionals working to
prevent drug abuse among college students, including educators, student health
centers, and student affairs personnel. In addition, it serves as a useful tool
for college students, parents, and others involved in campus communities.
CampusDrugPrevention.gov offers valuable information,
including data, news updates, drug scheduling and penalties, publications,
research, national and statewide conferences and events, state and local
prevention contacts, and resources available from DEA’s federal partners. The
website also includes a “Help a Friend” resource to educate and prepare those
who plan to talk to their friends or loved ones about drug use concerns.

prevention efforts and resources, visit www.CampusDrugPrevention.gov.
