| Abstract | DARE is a preventive drug education program intended to combat drug use by students before it commences. The elementary school program is the core curriculum of DARE. It is designed to help those enrolled to develop skills that will allow them to resist the pressures to use substances such as illegal drugs, alcohol and tobacco. Students are taught about their rights; the right to say "no" to drugs is a central theme in the curriculum. Training focuses on the consequences, both favorable and unfavorable, of one's decision making. As with this evaluation, most of the research to date on the program has focused on the relative effectiveness of DARE in reducing drug use by students. The following research question is addressed: Do drug prevention education programs reduce the level of drug use by students significantly? Public and parochial students in the city of Fort Wayne, Indiana, are utilized in order to test the question empirically. The survey examined student drug use as well as the attitudes they hold about substance use. Student satisfaction with the DARE program was extremely high: 83.6 percent rated it as excellent or good, and only 5 percent felt it was poor or terrible. Three appendices consist of the survey instrument and the survey results (pooled analysis and by school system) respectively. Contains 37 references. (Author/BF) |
