Does the DARE Program Work?

This program began in Los Angeles in the early 1980s and rapidly spread throughout the country as a result of the 1986 "Non-toxic School and Community Act". [2] By the 1990's, this was one of the thousands of schools in the United States - educational institutions were the easiest way to reach many children. The goal is clear - is to introduce pressure to drugs and effective ways to deal with it to young people - but are the plans thoroughly thorough?

To obtain D.A.R.E certified educators, staff must train at least 80 hours in the following departments:

By 1994, D.A.R.E. This program is seen in American state schools. [22] As of 2013, only 48 states still use the program and [23] 2 states withdrew. There were more than 200 million students participating in D.A.R.E. Until then, 11 million people were Americans. So far this program has been launched in 53 countries around the world. [twenty five]

Changing the planning model was a new name for the 7th grade elementary school flight 2009 - Keepin 'real REAL. [26] It is targeting young people between the ages of 12 and 14, not continuing to guide progress through guidance in the classroom trained well for 10 weeks while continuing education of the following year. Form [27]

The program went to 5 years and 6 years in 2013, brought courses developed by practical preventive experts who studied to reduce drug abuse and to maintain participant's anti-drug attitude. [28] In a study of 1,300 drug users who participated in the Keepin 'real REAL program, it was shown that the success rate of decreasing substance use was "72% higher than the control group". [29]

In the new program, rather than using a threatening and reactive "refusal only" way, focus on helping children and young people in a wider range of age and educating on actual experience and dissemination of drug abuse I'm counting on you. In addition to that, the announcement was deleted D.A.R.E. Once the medicine was made everywhere, "Everyone is doing it." Contrary to the general idea, everyone is not. In the "surveillance of the future" survey for US high school graduates, 53.3% of people have never tried illegal drugs so far. [30]

This is not surprising for social scientists behind the SMART course of the DARE original course. A few years after DARE began researchers at the University of Southern California discovered a shocking discovery of SMART. Early versions of the program did not work. In fact, some of them have a "boomerang effect" and are involved in higher drug usage. However, according to SMART researcher Bill Hansen, LAUSD said it got "distant" by this discovery. Hansen and Johnson claimed that they contacted DARE to help them change the course but were rejected.

In the 1990s, many police hired staff specializing in the DARE project. DARE is a drug prevention program for school-aged children developed by the police station in Los Angeles, California, using unified patrol staff to educate school children about the risk of drug use. DARE officials have offices in public schools where children can easily access information and ask questions. In the initial evaluation, it was shown that DARE is functioning, so in the 1990's many departments assigned unified personnel to the DARE project. Unfortunately, the long-term evaluation of the program shows that the long-term impact of project DARE is not as beneficial as previously thought; in fact, they may not exist (eg Rosenbaum et al; Rosenbaum and Hanson). For this reason, many departments phased out DARE as a precautionary measure, or at least as a reorganization of the plan. Evaluation of these projects is ongoing

DARE's press release is entitled "Drug Related Groups for Preventive Planning Attacks." Everyone who criticizes DARE as a drug legalizer is crazy. 18 Leaders of DARE questioned the motivation of those who asked questions in some way to the program. "19 DARE sometimes says that critics are only the success of the organization.20 The position of DARE is that the program works well, the only problem is the person who evaluated it and criticized it. The commitment timing is perfect. First Lady Nancy Reagan advised the children "just say". Congress quickly approved large amounts of drug prevention funds and 10% was used to participate in programs taught by unified police officers. In addition to the other criteria, the reservation completely matches DARE and the program is started nationwide. "twenty two
