Definition(s)

  • The National Youth Anti-Drug Media Campaign, often referred to as the National Media Campaign, is a large-scale communication strategy that aims to prevent drug abuse through television, radio, and newspaper advertisements; Internet programs and Web sites; and entertainment venues. Some of the most memorable advertisements include short commercials such as the "This is your brain on drugs" ad, which depicted a person frying an egg in a hot, burning skillet as being analogous to the harmful consequences drug use has on the human brain.
