"The results indicate that exposure to DARE had no significant effect					
on any of the alcohol and drug measures taken in year three.
				
 "In contrast, suburban students exposed to DARE were 1.67 times more likely to			
start smoking during this period than similar students in the control group."					
 "Students in the "other Race" category were 2.11 times more likely\to have used alcohol
recently if they were exposed to D.A.R.E.."
