Community Leaders Announce Groundbreaking Anti-Meth Program

The Wyoming Meth Project today announced the launch of a statewide prevention campaign aimed at significantly reducing first-time methamphetamine use among Wyoming youth. Community leaders from the McMurry Foundation, Daniels Fund, Tate Foundation, and other foundations throughout the state, whose collective funding brought the award-winning campaign to Wyoming, revealed the first wave of powerful anti-Meth ads and community action programs that comprise what has been cited as the most effective methamphetamine prevention program in the nation.

New Survey Demonstrates Increased Awareness of the Dangers of Meth Use 94 percent of Arizona teens now see great risk in trying methamphetamine once

A new statewide survey has found that teens’ attitudes toward the dangers of methamphetamine use have shifted substantially since the Arizona Meth Project initiated the first wave of its meth prevention campaign in 2007. Compared to the 2007 benchmark survey—conducted prior to the launch of the Project’s “Not Even Once” campaign—the new results show that teens are now much more aware of the negative consequences associated with meth use and are significantly less inclined to see benefits in taking meth. The survey also revealed that, for the first time, teens view meth as the most dangerous substance, even riskier than heroin, cocaine, and marijuana.
