Though drug and alcohol use, smoking, and teen pregnancy rates are all down, recent surveys show that thousands of U.S. teens are engaging in risky behaviors. ONDCP and 16 organizations, including the American Legacy Foundation, the Leadership to Keep Children Alcohol Free, and the National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy launched a national "Open Letter" ad campaign, and new parenting resources to provide parents with some simple techniques to help them navigate this challenging time. Our latest podcast contains audio from the announcement of this initiative.
