While advocating abstinence, our ultimate goal should be safety and the prevention of drug abuse and drug problems. Drug Education should follow the lead of sex education. Though sex education began with abstinence only tenets in the 1970s, the AIDS epidemic of the 1980s focused on efforts to save lives. To help reduce the harm associated with unsafe sexual practices, realistic sex education stressed safety. Today's drug education programs face the same abstinence only vs. safety dilemma.

KidsHealth Parents Hot Topics Enhanced Drug Education Programs Are More Successful at Preventing Risky Behaviors Many elementary and middle schools have implemented the drug education program Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.) to reduce drug use and violence in kids and teens. Researchers from the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis recently evaluated the effectiveness of D.A.R.E. and an enhanced D.A.R.E. program. From 1999 to 2001, 24 middle and junior high schools participated in the University of Minnesota study. Eight schools followed a regular D.A.R.E. program that focused on character building and citizenship skills taught by police officers. Eight schools participated in a D.A.R.E. Plus program that included parental involvement, extracurricular activities, classroom activities, and neighborhood action teams. Finally, eight schools delayed their participation in D.A.R.E. so they could act as the comparison group. Throughout the study, the students completed anonymous surveys about their use of tobacco alcohol , marijuana, and other drugs.

DRUGS EDUCATION A A Q If pupils are caught with drugs, will they be excluded? A Schools should send a clear message to pupils and parents that drugs in school are not acceptable, but decisions on whether to exclude pupils are the responsibility of headteachers. However, those dealing in drugs should be excluded. All schools are encouraged to develop a drug-incident management policy with parents, pupils, governors, staff and the wider community, including the local police, clearly setting out the range of sanctions which might be applied, including alternatives to exclusion. The policy should also identify sources of support for pupils. A A Q Are schools changing what they teach about cannabis?
