Question: What Do We Know About Preventing MDMA Abuse?

Answer: Because social context and networks seem to be an important component of MDMA use, the use of peer led advocacy and drug prevention programs may be a promising approach to reduce MDMA use among adolescents and young adults.

High schools and colleges can serve as important venues for delivering messages about the effects of MDMA use. Providing accurate scientific information regarding the effects of MDMA is important if we hope to reduce the damaging effects of this drug.

Education is one of the most important tools for use in preventing MDMA abuse.
