Did you know that March is Prescription (Rx) and Over-the-Counter (OTC) Drug Awareness Month?
This week, OCSAPC is kicking off its Rx Drug Abuse Media Campaign off with two 15-second TV commercials which will air March 16-March 28, 2010 on various channels throughout the day in Ohio County. Look for them starting tonight!! We are also airing a 1-minute radio PSA on various local radio stations during this time. This media campaign aims to raise awareness of the dangers of prescription drug abuse and ways we can take action as community members to Prevent Rx Drug Abuse!
Additionally, this media campaign is designed to tie in with our upcoming 2010 Rx Drug Summit, which will be held next Friday, March 26th from 8am-4pm at West Virginia Northern Community College. There are still a few spots available- registration fee is just $5.00; a number of continuing education units (CEUs) and lunch will be provided on-site. Don't miss this great opportunity to learn more and collaborate with others in the community to prevent and reduce prescription drug abuse.
Also see these TV ads on our Coalition Facebook Page.
