Every 12 seconds another school-age child experiments with illicit substances for the first time—a grim reminder of just how pervasive drug abuse has become among young people in our modern society.

To combat this epidemic, the Church of Scientology, under the leadership of Mr. Miscavige, sponsors the largest non-governmental anti-drug information and prevention campaign on Earth.
