The Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.) program is a widespread but controversial school-based drug prevention program in the United States as well as in many other countries. The present multivariate meta-analysis reviewed 20 studies that assessed the effectiveness of the D.A.R.E. program in the United States. The results showed that the effects of the D.A.R.E. program on drug use did not vary across the studies with a less than small overall effect while the effects on psychosocial behavior varied with still a less than small overall effect. In addition, the characteristics of the studies significantly explained the variation of the heterogeneous effects on psychosocial behavior, which provides empirical evidence for improving the school-based drug prevention program.
“抵制药物滥用教育”（D.A.R.E.）项目是美国以及许多其他国家广泛开展但颇具争议的一项校内毒品预防项目。本次多变量荟萃分析回顾了20项评估D.A.R.E.项目在美国有效性的研究。结果显示，D.A.R.E.项目对药物使用的影响在各项研究中并无差异，总体影响小于微小效应，而对心理社会行为的影响则有所不同，总体影响同样小于微小效应。此外，研究特征显著解释了对心理社会行为的异质性影响的差异，这为改进校内毒品预防项目提供了实证依据。
