According to Roberta Rapisardi, M.S.Ed., Senior Community Prevention Manager, “Real media is an evidence-based program that is designed to prevent substance abuse among adolescents,” 

Participants in the contest used their knowledge of advertising techniques used to sell tobacco, alcohol, and marijuana to come up with preventive messages.

“Doing this helped students apply critical thinking skills to create their own youth driven messages against substance abuse."
