Community Anti-Drug Coalitions of America (CADCA) is accepting applications for the new Dose of Prevention Award. Sponsored by Consumer Healthcare Products Association (CHPA), the award will honor "a CADCA-member coalition that has helped raise awareness about the dangers of over-the-counter (OTC) cough medicine abuse in their community, through the use of community-wide strategies."

The winning coalition will receive $1,000 and one free trip (including travel, hotel, and registration) to attend CADCA's 2009 National Leadership Forum.

Eligible applicants must be a CADCA member, have used the Dose of Prevention Toolkit in their efforts, and have been involved in either the 2007 or 2008 National Medicine Abuse Awareness Month. Application deadline is September 15, 2008.
