Overview

To effectively present necessary information about drugs of abuse to young school children, Kim Edward Light, Ph.D., a faculty member of the UAMS College of Pharmacy, developed and produced a Disney-style animated cartoon about this growing problem in our society for presentation in schools and by organizations. The Adventures of R.F. Ant® is an innovative drug abuse prevention program for children in kindergarten through fourth grade. The program is centered on the good advice from the ant-like "star" character, R.F. Ant®, which children quickly learn stands for refusant – that is, a person who chooses to refuse drugs and knows why.
