Schools and community partners will be hosting National Drug and Alcohol Facts Week events throughout the week. NIDA will also sponsor a National Drugs and Alcohol Chat day, which gives students the opportunity to ask NIDA scientists about drug and alcohol use and effects, and substance and alcohol use disorders.
