[BDSP. Notice produite par INIST-CNRS R0x0qT66. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objectives : We provide an updated meta-analysis on the effectiveness of Project D.A.R.E. in preventing alcohol, tobacco, and illicit drug use among school-aged youths. Methods : We used meta-analytic techniques to create an overall effect size for D.A.R.E. outcome evaluations reported in scientific journals. Results : The overall weighted effect size for the included D.A.R.E. studies was extremely small (correlation coefficient=0.011 ; Cohen d=0.023 ; 95% confidence interval=-0.04,0.08) and nonsignificant (z=0.73, NS). Conclusions : Our study supports previous findings indicating that D A.R.E. is ineffective.
