REAL Media is an interactive, self-paced, e-learning media literacy curriculum that aims to prevent substance use among youth ages 12-17. It is the result of an ongoing collaboration between Rutgers University School of Communication and Information, REAL Prevention, a company devoted to using technology to deliver evidence-based prevention programs, and 4-H.

A program designed to help members make healthy decisions about alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use, REAL Media consists of 5 levels that range from 20-25 minutes each. It is designed to be self-paced, and teens take as much time as they need to complete each level. The levels are completed individually over a few sittings, outside of 4-H time. They are tailored to youth to:

• Increase their knowledge about media reach & social media ethics
• Increase their knowledge of advertising techniques and strategies used to sell products
• Develop their critical thinking skills
• Motivate them to create anti-substance messages using skills learned through the program
• Have them share their messages with their peers as part of a contest through social media
