The DEA supports the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) and the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) during their annual National Drug and Alcohol Facts Week (NDAFW®). Held since 2010, NDAFW brings teens and scientific experts together to discuss the scientific facts about drugs, as well as their potential health effects on teen bodies and brains. 

In 2020, for the first time, the week-long observance will be held during the spring: March 30 - April 5, 2020.

Registration is now OPEN for  National Drug and Alcohol Facts Week® 2020! Register your activities on their website today! 

Events are held around the country, with registrants getting free science based materials designed for young people. In previous years, during the week, scientists and science writers answer questions from teens around the country during a live web chat called National Drugs and Alcohol Chat Day. 

NIDA and NIAAA are parts of the National Institutes of Health, the nation’s premiere biomedical government research agency.
