“…through Byrne Block Grant Funding (also from DOJ), and local school districts received considerable funding to support D.A.R.E over multiple years through the U.S. Department of Education's (DOE) Safe and Drug‐Free Schools and Communities Program. As reported by Rosenbaum (), DOJ and DOE earmarked more than $10 million per year for D.A.R.E. throughout most of the 1990s.…”

“…The 17‐lesson core curriculum was typically delivered to students in grade 5 or 6 by uniformed police officers. Rosenbaum () reported that D.A.R.E. reached 26 million children in 75% of all school districts in the United States, that is was disseminated worldwide and used in more than 50 countries.…”

“…curriculum on measures of alcohol and other drug use was a trivial 0.02. Rosenbaum (), summarizing the evidence for D.A.R.E.’s effectiveness, stated, “Across more than 30 studies, the collective evidence from evaluations with reasonably good scientific validity suggests that the core D.A.R.E. program does not prevent drug use in the short term, nor does it prevent drug use when students are ready to enter high school or college.…”

“…Indeed, even interventions shown in numerous, well-conducted evaluations to increase crime are difficult to discontinue (Latessa, Cullen, and Gendreau, 2002), as can be seen in our continued use of waivers for juvenile offenders (McGowan et al, 2007), Scared Straight interventions (Petrosino, Turpin-Petrosino, Hollis-Peel, and Lavenberg, 2013), and the Drug Abuse and Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.) program (Rosenbaum, 2007;Sloboda et al, 2009).…”

Research Summary This article compares the criteria and methods applied by three registries designed to identify what works in crime and delinquency prevention. We discuss and demonstrate how variation in the methodological rigor of these processes affects the number of interventions identified as “evidence based” and provide recommendations for future list‐making to help increase the dissemination of effective crime prevention programs and practices. Policy Implications As support for evidence‐based crime prevention grows, so too will reliance on what works registries. We contend that these lists must employ scientifically rigorous review criteria and systematic review processes to protect public resources and ensure interventions recommended for dissemination do not risk harming participants. Lists must also be constructed and findings communicated in ways that are responsive to community needs. Ensuring this balance will help increase public confidence in scientific methods and ensure greater diffusion of evidence‐based interventions.

“…A problem with that supposition is that it ignores why people follow those rules. The noted failure of the “Just say no” movement to combat drug abuse (Lynman et al, 1999; Rosenbaum, 2010; Rosenbaum & Hanson, 1998) certainly indicates that getting people to state rules and say that they will follow them is not very effective. Moreover, to suggest that somehow the long‐term benefit afforded by following rules reinforces rule following is also glib.…”

DRUG ADDICTION. IS IT A DISEASE OR IS IT BASED ON CHOICE? A REVIEW OF GENE HEYMAN'S ADDICTION: A DISORDER OF CHOICE

In Addiction: A disorder of choice, Gene Heyman surveys a broad array of evidence—historical, anthropological, survey, clinical, and laboratory‐based to build an argument about the role of basic choice processes in the phenomena that comprise drug addiction. He makes a compelling, multifaceted argument that conceptualizing drug addiction as a chronic disease (like schizophrenia or diabetes) is both misleading and erroneous. In developing his argument, he points out that the best survey data available indicate that most drug addicts quit their addiction, a fact inconsistent with a chronic‐disease model. He illustrates how basic, normal choice processes can lead to addiction, arguing that people do not choose to be addicts, but that normal choice dynamics can lead them to that condition. He points to a variety of factors that keep most from becoming addicted, with a focus on the role of choice governed by choice‐by‐choice contingencies versus choice governed by the outcome of sequences of choices, a difference in an under‐described activity called framing. His view is consistent with the most effective treatments currently available, and provides a basis for continued basic research on choice as well as research on treatment and prevention.
