Round 3:Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.)

Program description. “DARE is a highly-structured substance-abuse prevention program taught by uniformed police officers… The program is typically provided in 10-20 weekly hour-long sessions, during which the police officers use lectures, class discussion, role plays, and homework assignments to 1) teach students about substance use and its effects; 2) teach students decision-making and peer pressure resistance skills; and 3) boost students’ self-esteem. Prior to teaching, the police officers take an 80-hour training course on teaching techniques, classroom management, and the DARE curriculum… DARE costs approximately $130 per student (2004 dollars) and, as of 2001, was operating in 75% of American school districts.”

Do you think that D.A.R.E. had a good effect (i.e., decreased the rate of drug use), bad effect (i.e., increased the rate of drug use), or had no effect?
