# ALTDAP — Made for More > ALTDAP is Nigeria's free drug abuse awareness platform for youth aged 16–30. Built on MSc research at the Federal University of Technology, Owerri (FUTO), it provides evidence-based drug education, a gamified awareness challenge, anonymous self-check, AI peer support, and 9 drug profiles. A validated study with 200+ students showed drug abuse awareness improved from 42% to 73% (a 31-point gain) after using the platform. ALTDAP (Awareness and Learning Tool for Drug Abuse Prevention) is a digital public health platform designed to reduce drug abuse initiation among Nigerian youth through evidence-based education, anonymous risk assessment, and peer support. All drug profiles and challenge questions are sourced from WHO, NDLEA, UNODC, and NAFDAC data. The self-check is adapted from the CRAFFT and ASSIST clinical screening tools (WHO-validated). ## Core Product Pages - [Awareness Challenge](https://altdap.com/challenge): Free 20-question drug knowledge challenge covering substances common in Nigeria — tramadol, Mkpuru Mmiri (crystal meth), codeine, cannabis, rohypnol, inhalants.
