Abstract
The Director of the Office of National Drug Control Policy presents a telephone number (1-800-662-HELP) that young people can call to get help in resisting drugs or becoming drug-free. Several of the announcements feature award-winning athlete Michael Johnson describing how his athletic career would not have been possible if he had gotten into drugs. Gymnast Dominique Dawes a appears in another announcement to encourage young people to stay drug-free, and several PSAs using professional actors illustrate some of the serious consequences of adolescent drug use.
