Schools widely accepted the program all over the country for decades, until scientists found it wasn’t really effective. Fast forward to the present day and D.A.R.E as made a comeback… sort of. Myles investigates how D.A.R.E. has changed its curriculum and other ways that drug education is being taught in schools. Join him in answering the question: How should schools educate teens about drugs?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>TEACHERS:\u003c/strong> Get your students in the discussion on KQED Learn, a safe place for middle and high school students to investigate controversial topics and share their voices. \u003ca href=\"https://learn.kqed.org/discussions/123?utm_source=kqed-edu&utm_medium=article&utm_campaign=atn\">Click to see this video and lesson plan on KQED Learn\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What is D.A.R.E?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>D.A.R.E stands for drug abuse resistance education. It brings police officers into classrooms to teach students drug prevention, with the prevailing belief being that any amount of drug use, no matter how small, is harmful to the individual AND to society. D.A.R.E began in the early 80s in LA, but by the 90s it had gone national in nearly 75 percent of all school districts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Was D.A.R.E effective?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the science, not really. The “just say no” to drugs message at best worked in the short term, but wore off within a year or two. At the end of the day, having students say “no” just doesn’t leave a lasting impact on most of them because they’re parroting back a message to an adult. It doesn’t mimic real-life situations where they will need to say no to friends and other students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Is the new D.A.R.E of today a better version of the original?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2008, D.A.R.E adopted a new school curriculum called “Keepin’ It Real”. Keepin’ It Real was developed at a university by researchers that study and understand drugs and addiction and how that stuff affects the adolescent brain. And it’s different from the old, zero-tolerance D.A.R.E in that it’s not about “just saying no” and instead is more focused on helping students with their decision-making skills. Police officers have been re-trained so it’s more interactive and less based on lectures. And students can have discussions with other students.

It brings police officers into classrooms to teach students drug prevention, with the prevailing belief being that any amount of drug use, no matter how small, is harmful to the individual AND to society. D.A.R.E began in the early 80s in LA, but by the 90s it had gone national in nearly 75 percent of all school districts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Was D.A.R.E effective?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the science, not really. The “just say no” to drugs message at best worked in the short term, but wore off within a year or two. At the end of the day, having students say “no” just doesn’t leave a lasting impact on most of them because they’re parroting back a message to an adult. It doesn’t mimic real-life situations where they will need to say no to friends and other students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Is the new D.A.R.E of today a better version of the original?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2008, D.A.R.E adopted a new school curriculum called “Keepin’ It Real”. Keepin’ It Real was developed at a university by researchers that study and understand drugs and addiction and how that stuff affects the adolescent brain. And it’s different from the old, zero-tolerance D.A.R.E in that it’s not about “just saying no” and instead is more focused on helping students with their decision-making skills. Police officers have been re-trained so it’s more interactive and less based on lectures. And students can have discussions with other students. Studies conducted by the two researchers who created the program show it’s effective at reducing drug use and helping students resist peer pressure. But not everyone in the public health community is convinced the new D.A.R.E is much better than the previous program.

In just two years, sales of these products in the U.S. grew 29% to $5 billion.

Giving up meat and dairy is one of the best ways to help fight climate change. Raising animals for food uses up too much land and water, and it raises greenhouse gases. To make matters worse, some of the land that’s cut down for animal agriculture is the same land that absorbs carbon dioxide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Is meat bad for you?\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\nThere’s nuance here. Studies about food and nutrition tend to be controversial and there is a lot of conflicting info out there.

But what about milk being good for school-aged children? Although milk is a great calcium source, the animal proteins in dairy can have a calcium leaching-effect. Because of this, researchers are reevaluating milk’s relationship to bone health. For example, a Swedish study determined that women who drank milk were\u003ca href=\"http://www.bmj.com/content/349/bmj.g6015\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> more likely to develop fractures\u003c/a> than women who drank little to no milk. Additional studies have shown that the consumption of cow’s milk correlates to\u003ca href=\"http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1365-4632.2009.04002.x/full\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> prevalence of acne\u003c/a> in girls and boys. And, although the effects aren’t certain, the antibiotics pumped into cows may lead to antibiotic resistance in humans who consume milk and other dairy products. Lastly, 75% of the world’s adult population is \u003ca href=\"http://www.pcrm.org/health/diets/vegdiets/what-is-lactose-intolerance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">intolerant to lactose\u003c/a>, the sugar found in many milk products, suggesting that the human body is not suited for extended consumption of dairy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, milk is one of the most nutrient-rich beverages a human can consume. It contains a little bit of everything we need: calcium, vitamin D, riboflavin, vitamin B12, potassium, phosphorus, vitamin A, vitamins B1 and B6, selenium, zinc and magnesium. The complex set of fatty acids in milk are also beneficial to our health. Some studies indicate a link between consuming dairy products and a lowered risk of hypertension, certain cancers, and coronary heart disease. In terms of bone health, although countries with low dairy consumption have less cases of osteoporosis, the majority of evidence supports that \u003ca href=\"https://authoritynutrition.com/is-dairy-bad-or-good\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">calcium from dairy promotes bone density, limits osteoporosis, and prevents fractures in the elderly population\u003c/a>. This paradox remains unexplained, though confirmed by Swedish research indicating both \u003ca href=\"http://www.bmj.com/content/349/bmj.g6015\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">higher mortality in women and men and higher risk of hip fracture\u003c/a> in women with increased milk consumption. The same effects were not seen with consumption of non-milk dairy foods such as cheese and yogurt, so lactose or galactose may be the culprit since they are present in milk but are found at much lower levels in other dairy foods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What do you think?

For example, a Swedish study determined that women who drank milk were\u003ca href=\"http://www.bmj.com/content/349/bmj.g6015\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> more likely to develop fractures\u003c/a> than women who drank little to no milk. Additional studies have shown that the consumption of cow’s milk correlates to\u003ca href=\"http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1365-4632.2009.04002.x/full\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> prevalence of acne\u003c/a> in girls and boys. And, although the effects aren’t certain, the antibiotics pumped into cows may lead to antibiotic resistance in humans who consume milk and other dairy products. Lastly, 75% of the world’s adult population is \u003ca href=\"http://www.pcrm.org/health/diets/vegdiets/what-is-lactose-intolerance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">intolerant to lactose\u003c/a>, the sugar found in many milk products, suggesting that the human body is not suited for extended consumption of dairy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, milk is one of the most nutrient-rich beverages a human can consume. It contains a little bit of everything we need: calcium, vitamin D, riboflavin, vitamin B12, potassium, phosphorus, vitamin A, vitamins B1 and B6, selenium, zinc and magnesium. The complex set of fatty acids in milk are also beneficial to our health. Some studies indicate a link between consuming dairy products and a lowered risk of hypertension, certain cancers, and coronary heart disease. In terms of bone health, although countries with low dairy consumption have less cases of osteoporosis, the majority of evidence supports that \u003ca href=\"https://authoritynutrition.com/is-dairy-bad-or-good\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">calcium from dairy promotes bone density, limits osteoporosis, and prevents fractures in the elderly population\u003c/a>. This paradox remains unexplained, though confirmed by Swedish research indicating both \u003ca href=\"http://www.bmj.com/content/349/bmj.g6015\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">higher mortality in women and men and higher risk of hip fracture\u003c/a> in women with increased milk consumption. The same effects were not seen with consumption of non-milk dairy foods such as cheese and yogurt, so lactose or galactose may be the culprit since they are present in milk but are found at much lower levels in other dairy foods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What do you think?
