Drug Abuse Resistence Education (D.A.R.E.)
A school-based education program. How well did it work? In 2001, US @Surgeon_General David Satcher placed the D.A.R.E. program in the category of "Ineffective Primary Prevention Programs."

School-based drug "education" mistake, now being repeated with vaping.
1992: "Researchers at Indiana University found that those who completed the D.A.R.E. program subsequently had significantly higher rates of hallucinogenic drug use than those not exposed to the program."

1994: RTI researchers found the program was ineffective. So D.A.R.E. leaders tried to get publication of the findings blocked.

(4) The school-based drug "education" mistake:
"Educators and administrators have admitted that D.A.R.E. increased students' exposure and knowledge of unknown drugs, resulting in experimentation and consumption of narcotics at a much younger age."

"Research by Dr. Dennis Rosenbaum in 1998 found that D.A.R.E. graduates were more likely than others to drink alcohol, smoke tobacco and use illegal drugs."

(6) The school-based drug "education" mistake:
"Psychologist Dr. William Colson said, in 1998, that D.A.R.E. increased drug awareness. "As they get a little older, students become very curious about the drugs they've learned about from police officers."

(7) So... Why are we repeating the same mistake today, with school-based anti-vaping programs that inadvertently educate the 87% of teens who don't vape at all about vape products, effectively telling them "all your friends are doing it"?
