The Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) progam, a
school-based substance abuse prevention program aimed at students
in the fifth and sixth grades, has been used in Alaska in Anchorage,
Fairbanks, Juneau, and the North Slope Borough for about a decade;
it has been taught in rural Alaska schools since 1996. Its 17-week
curriculum is delivered by uniformed police officers who have
been specially selected and trained for the role. Using a pre-test/post-test
research design, this study considers the effect of participation
in the DARE program for students in five rural Alaska grade schools.
