The National Youth Anti-Drug Media Campaign is a current US government health education campaign by the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) within the Executive Office of the President of the United States with the goal to "influence the attitudes of the public and the news media with respect to drug abuse" and of "reducing and preventing drug abuse among young people in the United States".[1][2]

The Media Campaign cooperates with the Partnership for a Drug-Free America and other government and non-government organizations.[3]
