The Need For School-Based Drug Prevention Programs In The Curriculum, Theodore Waldeck Jan 2011

The Need For School-Based Drug Prevention Programs In The Curriculum, Theodore Waldeck

McNair Poster Presentations

Drugs are still a problem facing our children. Studies have proven that prevention programs are beneficial to our children. In fact, one study, states that for every $150 spent per child for a program, $840 is saved in crime and healthcare costs (Caulkins, Chiesa, Pacula, and Paddock, 2002). What would the savings be if we educated our children from kindergarten, all the way through high school, instead of one, or a couple of years? Therefore, this study is to explain the need for implementing school-based drug prevention programs from kindergarten through twelfth grade.
