Project STAR. They may occur in schools, families, or communities. Their content is adapted for use in each of those settings for a particular target audience. School-based programs were the first to be fully designed and evaluated, and they are the preferred solution for children and adolescents. Family-based programs are implemented in situations that require engaging both children and their parents or guardians. Drug prevention programs target children, teens , and college -aged young adults ages 10 to 19 as they go through major life transitions.
The first of these transitions occurs when children leave the security of their families to start school and when they graduate. They encounter new social and academic situations during each stage, like adapting to a wider peer group.
Children face additional emotional, social, and educational challenges when they enter high school. Besides facing increased peer pressure, they are often exposed to greater availability of prescription drugs and social activities that involve drug use. These interactions increase the likelihood of using tobacco, alcohol, and other substances.

It is a normal part of their development that enables them to find their identities and grow into independent young adults.

Adolescents are also more susceptible to the long-term, negative effects of drug use. Using drugs at this age has more potential to distort brain function in areas that govern memory, motivation, learning, behavior control, emotional development, and judgment, potentially leading to a serious mental illness.

The core curriculum was built for and targets children in their last years of elementary school, fifth and sixth grades. It is thought that this is the age where children are most receptive to antidrug messages and catches them before they experiment or are pressured to experiment with drugs by their peers. This result was evident immediately after the completion of DARE, one year after completion, and two years after completion.
There were some positive impacts of DARE on students. Analyses show that DARE students, compared to control students, were half as likely to increase their cigarette use from pretest Wave One to the posttest Wave Two. Rural students that received DARE were half as likely to increase alcohol use upon posttest.
There was, however, no protective effect for alcohol evident for suburban or urban students receiving DARE. That is to say, although DARE did not prevent adolescents from using cigarettes or alcohol, those participating in DARE were not as likely to increase their use of cigarettes or alcohol compared to students in the control condition.
This effect was only evident from Wave One to Two, meaning that this small protective effect wore off after a year. For the overall sample, Clayton, Cattarello, and Johnstone found an increase in drug use.
