Dose of Prevention Challenge

Did you know that 1 in 3 young adults have misused prescription drugs? Easy access to these substances emphasizes the importance of prioritizing community education to prevent misuse and its harmful consequences.

CADCA is pleased to announce the launch of the 2024 Dose of Prevention Challenge, and we invite you to get involved! In partnership with the Consumer Healthcare Product Association’s Stop Medicine Abuse campaign, we hope to spread awareness about the dangers of prescription drug and over-the-counter (OTC) cough medicine misuse, especially among young people.

Get Involved
Coalitions are encouraged to participate in the Dose of Prevention Challenge and spread awareness by organizing an event during National Medicine Abuse Awareness Month in October. Host an event that educates your community about both OTC medicine abuse and prescription drug misuse and be nominated to win! The more events you hold, the more chances you have to win.

The deadline to submit a nomination is Friday, November 1, 2024 at 11:59pm ET.
