Prescription drug misuse is highest among youth ages 18 to 25, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse.

That misperception, coupled with the wide availability of prescription drugs, leads to one of the most pressing drug use issues today.

Generation Rx – Elementary Resources

Posted by Emily

Website: https://generationrx.org/take-action/elementary/

Prescription and over-the-counter medicines are typically accessible and visible in our homes, and children should understand prescription and over-the-counter medication safety at an early age. What follows is a collection of age-appropriate, engaging resources that educate children about medication safety principles, equipping them with a foundation for understanding how to use medicines safely before they enter their teen and adult years. They may be used in small or large groups, as stand-alone activities, or in combination with other lessons. Some activities may be better suited for younger children (grades K-2), while others may be more appropriate for older students (grades 3-5).
