House
Senate

Key Points

  • Congress would let existing public safety grants be used for research-based public service ads aimed at preventing youth drug use.
  • These campaigns could include TV, radio, print, outdoor, and digital ads, plus contests where young people submit their own prevention ads.
  • The Attorney General would have to publish a yearly public report describing each funded campaign and what research shaped the message.
  • Reports would also cover whether the campaign used local or regional messaging and how it fits with the grantee’s broader prevention plan.
  • The law calls for evaluating how well the ads worked, including whether they helped lower youth drug use.
