- > D.A.R.E.'s popularity, as demonstrated by the extraordinary growth in its
- > rate of dissemination and by abundant anecdotal reports of its success, is
- > self-evident. In part because of its preeminent position, policymakers,
- > researchers, educators, and parents are asking a number of fundamental
- > questions about the program:
- >
- > o How effective is D.A.R.E. in preventing drug use?
- >
- > o What are D.A.R.E.'s effects compared with those
- > of other school-based drug prevention programs?
- >
- > o What are some of the basic features common to
- > most D.A.R.E. programs?
- >
- > o Who usually manages the D.A.R.E. program?
- >
- > o How extensively is D.A.R.E. implemented nationwide?
- >
- > o How do other alcohol and drug prevention programs
- > compare with D.A.R.E. and D.A.R.E. with them?
- >
- > To address these and other questions, the National Institute of Justice
- > (NIJ) awarded the research team of the Research Triangle Institute (RTI)
- > and the University of Kentucky's Center for Prevention Research (CPR) a
- > grant to conduct an extensive review of the D.A.R.E. program and to
- > assess its place within the context of the broad spectrum of school-based
- > drug prevention efforts.
