Facts Fight Fentanyl Campaign

Background

In August 2024, the California Department of Public Health has launched a statewide public education campaign called Facts Fight Fentanyl (Campaign). The Campaign was tailored to 16–39-year-olds and raised awareness of the prevalence and dangers of fentanyl and informed of naloxone, a life-saving overdose reversal medication. To reach California's diverse population, the Campaign included ads in English, Spanish, Chinese, and Korean. Media placement included:

Digital video, audio, and displays
Out-of-home
Paid search
Social media
Streaming TV and cinemas

The campaign ran through June 2025.

	Suggested caption: Fentanyl is up to 50x more potent than heroin and 100x more potent than morphine. An amount of fentanyl as small as a few grains of salt can be deadly.
	Suggested caption: Fentanyl can be present in any drug that is not prescribed by a clinician and dispensed by a pharmacist. If fentanyl is present in a drug – you cannot see it, smell it, or taste it.
	Suggested caption: In almost 40% of overdose deaths, a bystander was present. Naloxone is an easy-to-use nasal spray that’s small enough to carry in your bag or your pocket. Keep it handy: you could save a life by reversing someone’s fentanyl overdose.

	Suggested caption: Fentanyl is sneaky. Deadly doses have been found in “party drugs” like MDMA and cocaine, as well as fake prescription pills.
	Suggested caption: Overdose reversals are in stock. Buy it at a pharmacy online/IRL or grab naloxone for free at a local community-based org.
