UK: FRANK cannabis campaign targets young people
Mithran Samuel Community Care News
Tuesday 21 Aug 2007 Drugs information service FRANK has claimed success in a campaign to raise young people’s awareness of the impact of cannabis. The Brain Warehouse campaign, [ http://www.brainwarehouse.tv/index.html ] launched in October 2006, used images of the brain in TV and online adverts to illustrate the effects of cannabis. Over two-thirds of young people surveyed had seen the adverts and over half of those who saw them understood the message that cannabis affects the brain. Over three-quarters of those surveyed had negative perceptions of cannabis users. The research also found that over two-thirds understood that cocaine damages the brain. FRANK is using the research to develop a new campaign to target 16 to 21-year-olds who may be contemplating cocaine use.
