An Evaluation of D.A.R.E. (Drug Abuse Resistance Education), Using a Solomon Four-Group Design with Latent Variables.

Dukes, Richard L.; And Others

Evaluation Review, v19 n4 p409-35 Aug 1995

Results of an analysis to evaluate the effectiveness of the Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.) with 440 classrooms and 10,000 students over 4 years indicated that D.A.R.E. participation resulted in greater self-esteem, stronger institutional bonds, and endorsement of fewer risky behaviors. Program effects counteracted the negative effects of student maturation. (SLD)
