Adam Levine, Adult ADHD Marketing Campaign

Singer Adam Levine is the face of the "Own It" project, a campaign sponsored by the pharmaceutical company Shire to encourage adults to get screened for ADHD. The campaign features an online quiz that critics argue is designed to lead almost any respondent toward a diagnosis and subsequent prescription for drugs like Adderall. The hosts discuss the potential dangers of these medications and the aggressive marketing tactics used to target adults and children.
