In 1998, a grant from the National Institute of Justice to the University of Maryland resulted in a report to the NIJ, which among other statements, concluded that “DARE does not work to reduce substance use.”[19] D.A.R.E. expanded and modified the social competency development area of its curriculum in response to the report. Research by Dr. Dennis Rosenbaum in 1998[20] found that D.A.R.E. graduates were more likely than others to drink alcohol, smoke tobacco and use illegal drugs. The evidence suggested that, by exposing young impressionable children to drugs, the program was, in fact, encouraging and nurturing drug use.[22] Studies funded by the National Institute of Justice in 1998,[19][23] and the California Legislative Analyst’s Office in 2000[24] also concluded that the program was ineffective. The program was conducted by uniformed police officers who visited classrooms. The program was most prominent in the 1980s and ’90s.
I’m still working on this and will be using DARE everyday. Yes even after I have control over my anxiety. A series of scientific studies in the 1990s and 2000s cast doubt on the effectiveness of D.A.R.E., with some studies concluding the program was harmful or counterproductive. Years after its effectiveness was cast into doubt, the program remained popular among politicians and many members of the public, in part because of a common intuition that the program ought to work. Eventually, in the early 2000s, funding for the program was greatly reduced.

At the height of its popularity, D.A.R.E. was found in 75% of American school districts and was funded by the US government. The program consists of police officers who make visits to elementary school classrooms, warning children that drugs are harmful and should be refused. D.A.R.E. sought to educate children on how to resist peer pressure to take drugs. It also condemned alcohol, tobacco, graffiti, and tattoos as the results of peer pressure.
