November 2010:
Cocaine awareness campaign
You don't know what you're getting with cocaine - that's the key message at the heart of the Scottish Government's biggest ever initiative to raise awareness among 18 to 24 year olds of the health risks around cocaine use.
The latest Know the Score campaign's programme of Cocaine Awareness Weekends was officially launched on the 8th November 2010. The launch took place at Element, an Edinburgh pub which is one of 140 pubs and clubs that will be visited across Scotland by field marketing staff between 12 November and 4 December. Throughout their visits, the teams will talk directly to young people to highlight the dangers of using the drug.
The Cocaine Awareness Weekend activity will be bolstered by a hard-hitting Know the Score radio, cinema and online advertising campaign shown in the run up to the Christmas and Hogmanay party season.
