Drug Education Works

Hey out there,
For all you who have to make decisions about if you are going to vote for a levy or not:

Here is yet another reason to do so. We are so busy right now worrying about the Swine Flu (yes, I know it is called something else now) and the economy let me give you something positive to think about. The Drug Education Programs are having long-term effects. Can you believe it? We actually have good news about the educational system in our nation. Alert the media folks!

If you have a sterling child that has never tried anything because you said not to, you have a child with no social life, or a well educated child who listens.


"According to a recent report in Science Daily, a school-based drug education program for teens - Project ALERT - can have a long-term positive impact on sexual behavior. This benefit is in addition to the program’s ability to curb substance abuse."
