About Choose Your Path

The "Choose Your Path" activity lets you assume the role of the main character in an interactive video and call the shots in common scenarios for teens. After you make choices about which path to take, your decisions play out in the next video clip. You'll confront real-life situations that include the decision of whether to abuse certain prescription drugs. At each step, you'll learn the outcome of your decisions. At the end, you should be able to separate the myths from the facts about prescription drug abuse.

How It Works

First, a video clip sets up the scenario. At the end of each video clip, you'll be asked to choose between two different paths. After you make your selection, the scenario plays out. If you don't like the ending or if you're curious how a different choice will change the story, simply restart the activity and choose a different path.
