The Partnership for a Drug-Free America and the National Congress of American Indians unveiled an anti-methamphetamine ad campaign on Wednesday.
The print and radio ads target Native youth. In one radio spot, a young woman states, "Sometimes it just seems so hard. And some kids try meth just to escape." The ad urges youth to remember the families and traditions.
American Indians have the highest meth-use rate of any racial or ethnic group, according to NCAI, which wraps up its annual conference today.
