# Trends in Teen Communication: Opportunities and Challenges for Public Health Campaigns

Kristen Purcell and Amanda Lenhart will be speaking at the Office of National Drug Control Policy’s Above the Influence Campaign Summit, which will be held in Washington DC on September 28-29, 2010. The event will focus on providing ONDCP’s local community partners with the tools necessary to effectively engage teens in campaign activities. Kristen and Amanda will share Pew Internet data on [teen internet use and communication trends](https://www.pewresearch.org/internet/Topics/Demographics/Teens.aspx) that local ONDCP partners can use to inform their community outreach efforts.
