Extractions: The Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) program in public schools is our nation's most prominent and visible attempt to educate young people to resist drug abuse. It reaches over 60% of elementary school children in the United States, and is far and away the most prevalent drug education program in use today. This site provides information and views on the DARE program not readily available through DARE or any official source. This page is not sponsored or endorsed by "DARE America," and we do not purport to speak for DARE. We hope parents will consider the following information when deciding whether or not their child should participate in DARE. Hopefully, school administrators and public officials will find this site a helpful source of information when deciding whether to rely on DARE for the important purpose of educating young people to resist drug abuse, justifying the significant sacrifice of academic time and public revenue.

Nearly half of these accidents involve the consumption of alcohol and/or drugs and seat belts are not worn in over 85% of all motor vehicle accidents. SAFE is a one hour behavior modification program that informs students of the dangers associated with driving under the influence of drugs and/or alcohol and not wearing seat belts. Pretests and posttests were offered to 60 students to determine preliminary efficacy of the program. Quantitative data and open-ended comments seem to suggest that students may change their driving behaviors due to the influence of this presentation.

Parents' Source Article: Raising Drug-Free Children regarding the risks of alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use, this approach to preventionempowers parents to become the primary prevention educators in their http://www.parentssource.com/7.01.raising.article.html
Extractions: Parents in today's society have a critical responsibility to protect their children from the dangers of alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use. While our community has committed considerable resources to combat the problem of substance abuse, families remain a largely untapped and valuable resource. Prevention of substance abuse must become a "family affair," challenging all members of the family to invest in healthy, drug-free lifestyles. Families with children ages 8 through 12 face a special challenge. It is during this period that children are making their first decisions about the use of alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs. A model for raising drug-free children is the Council on Chemical Abuse's "A Twelve Step Approach to Prevention," which was designed to prepare parents to take on the challenges of raising drug-free children. Parents must be prepared to assume the role of family prevention educator before and/or when the child is making his first decision to use or not use drugs. This approach is a comprehensive prevention program that promotes a community-wide effort to strengthen the role of families as prevention educators. Instead of relying solely on teachers to educate our children regarding the risks of alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use, this approach to prevention empowers parents to become the primary prevention educators in their children's lives by attempting to meet the following goals: Enhancing the capacity of parents of children, ages 8-12 years, to serve as family educators in alcohol, tobacco, and other drug prevention.
Life Education Trust - Parents to your children about having children and being a parent. about how alcohol andother drugs can harm for Perinatal Addiction Research and education, 1989, http://www.lifeeducation.org.nz/parents/alcohol.html
Extractions: It is estimated that 11% of all newborns have been exposed to illicit drugs before they are born. How many more have been exposed to legal drugs such as alcohol? When a pregnant woman drinks alcohol or uses other drugs, the harmful substance flows through the mother's blood and into the baby through the placenta and umbilical cord. Although the body of an adult can eventually remove drugs from the system, the body of a fetus is different. Drugs stay in the baby because its liver and kidneys are not yet fully functional. Drugs that do pass out of the baby when it urinates stay in the fluid that surrounds the baby and are swallowed by the baby as it drinks this fluid. The drugs are circulated through the baby's system again and again until they gradually filter back into the mother's blood.

Extractions: Reaching Parents by Diane Champion-Smith Parents are important partners in the substance abuse prevention process. They play a significant part by being positive role models, giving strong, clear and consistent messages, controlling exposure and access to substances, monitoring activities and friends, and supporting the development of basic refusal skills. As professionals we know we want parents involved, yet when we try to involve them we are often disappointed by their lack of attendance, or frustrated that those who really "should" be present are absent. Often, we are overwhelmed by the parents of children who are actively involved in drug use, and prevention gets left to another day. Here are some commonsense strategies that encourage parents to be actively involved with prevention and provide them with some resources to help them take action. These strategies will be especially useful when planning for Drug Awareness Week (DAW)-November 14-20, 1999- as the focus will be on reaching parents with children ages 5 to 10.
