Youth Substance Use Prevention and Awareness Act

Law

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.
