RADD-ONDCP Teen Drugged Driving Summit
RADD-ONDCP Teen Drugged Driving Summit
On July 11, 2014, RADD and the Office of the National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP) co-hosted the nation's first ever comprehensive public forum on teen drugged driving. The summit brought together government leaders, scientific experts and community leaders for an in-depth discussion on the latest research and strategies to protect young drivers.
I was fortunate to attend the summit, and thanks to RADD, I was able to interview a number of the dignitaries and speakers.
Below, on this page you will find my conversations with those individuals, as well as the podcast that was developed from those discussions.
