Drug measures: Success of Montana Meth project unclear

June 9, 2008View for printing

It's been nearly three years since images of strung-out teens flooded Montana primetime TV as part of the statewide Montana Meth Project http://www.montanameth.org/ aimed at warning kids of the dangers of methamphetamine.

Idaho imported the project, using the same ads that ran in Montana, and kicked off its campaign in January after a year of soliciting funds. Now, The Idaho Meth Project http://www.idahomethproject.org/ is looking to update its ad campaign this fall with stories from local recovering meth addicts, said Megan Ronk, director of the Idaho project.

"The Montana Meth Project has had an effect on teen and adult meth use," Ronk said.
