REAL Media
REAL media is a five-lesson, e-learning curriculum to prevent adolescent substance use among 13 to 17-year-olds and promote an increased understanding of how the media manipulates people to use illicit substances. Youth learn to create their own prevention advertisements. Students can complete the program in a self-guided fashion or the program can be instructor-led.
