Suzie, I pulled up an old thread "Anybody Skip Dare?" that also has lots of good info. I learned a lot from this thread. Also, there was just an article in the Harvard Medical Newsletter that showed that the research proves that DARE is NOT effective in the least. This is a prestigious medical newsletter, so I do feel they are on target.

DARE programs have been shown in research to have no impact on children's choice to use drugs and alcohol, so I would agree---why spend scarce resources on promoting and offering this program?
