Background of the Study
Drug abuse poses a significant threat to public health and safety, particularly among the youth. In Katsina, Katsina State, traditional awareness campaigns often fail to capture the attention of the target audience due to their static and uninspiring formats. A motion graphics-based awareness campaign utilizes animated visual content, dynamic transitions, and engaging narratives to communicate the risks associated with drug abuse in a compelling manner (Ibrahim, 2023). This approach transforms complex data and statistics into visually digestible and emotionally resonant messages, thereby increasing the likelihood of behavior change. Motion graphics can illustrate the consequences of drug abuse, such as health deterioration, social alienation, and economic hardship, in a way that is both accessible and impactful. Recent studies suggest that multimedia campaigns are more effective than traditional methods in raising awareness and influencing public attitudes toward health risks (Chinwe, 2024). The proposed campaign will be delivered across digital platforms, including social media, mobile apps, and public kiosks, to ensure broad reach and engagement. By incorporating interactive elements and real-time feedback, the campaign aims to foster a proactive response among viewers and encourage community-driven efforts to combat drug abuse. This project is designed to support government and non-governmental organizations in their public health initiatives by providing a cost-effective, scalable, and visually engaging tool for disseminating critical health information (Afolabi, 2025).
Statement of the Problem
Despite ongoing efforts to address drug abuse in Katsina, traditional awareness campaigns have not achieved the desired impact, often due to outdated formats and a lack of interactive content (Ibrahim, 2023). The static nature of conventional posters and pamphlets limits their ability to engage a diverse, digitally connected audience, leading to low recall and minimal behavioral change. Furthermore, the complex nature of drug abuse and its consequences is often not effectively communicated through traditional media, resulting in a gap between knowledge and action. Although motion graphics offer an innovative solution by presenting information in a dynamic and engaging way, their adoption in public health campaigns is hindered by high production costs, technical constraints, and limited expertise in digital media production (Chinwe, 2024). This study aims to address these challenges by developing a motion graphics-based awareness campaign that transforms drug abuse messages into compelling visual narratives. The research will evaluate the campaign’s effectiveness in enhancing public awareness, altering attitudes, and reducing drug abuse behaviors. It will also identify barriers to production and dissemination and propose strategies to optimize the use of motion graphics in public health communication. By providing a more engaging and accessible platform for information dissemination, the study seeks to bridge the gap between traditional awareness methods and modern digital marketing, ultimately contributing to more effective drug abuse prevention strategies in Katsina.

• To develop and implement a motion graphics-based awareness campaign on drug abuse.
• To evaluate its impact on public knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors regarding drug abuse.
• To identify challenges and propose optimization strategies for digital campaign production.
Research Questions

Significance of the Study
This study is significant as it explores the potential of motion graphics to revolutionize public health campaigns by creating engaging, dynamic content that effectively communicates the dangers of drug abuse (Ibrahim, 2023). The findings will provide actionable insights for public health officials and media producers in Katsina, leading to more impactful awareness strategies and ultimately contributing to reduced drug abuse rates (Chinwe, 2024).
