| dc.description.abstract | This phenomenological study qualitatively explores 5th grade children ' s lived experience of completing DARE (drug abuse resistance education) to promote understanding of the meaning of DARE for children. The study is a secondary analysis of essays collected by the police department. A random sample of 23 essays answering the question "What does DARE mean to you and why do you want to remain drug free?" were analyzed. Themes which emerged were: DARE is educational ; drugs are bad; gangs are bad; and DARE impacts children's lives, society, and the future. Children found DARE valuable and fun; gained knowledge about risks and consequences of cigarettes, alcohol, drugs, and gangs ; learned about pressures to use drugs, resistance techniques, and decision making skills. Children practice resistance techniques in skits. DARE gives children a sense of safety, and hope for a better future in a more perfect world. Findings, and implications for research and practice are discussed | en_US |
