In the war on drugs, children are on the front lines. Is just saying no protection enough? The authors examine the results of popular school drug prevention programs to determine how effective they are at reducing cocaine use and whether these programs are money well spent, when compared with drug-enforcement or drug-treatment programs.

Preface
This book describes an analysis of the cost-effectiveness of model school-based drug prevention programs at reducing cocaine consumption. We compare prevention's cost-effectiveness with that of several enforcement programs and with that of treating heavy cocaine users. We also assess the cost of nationwide implementation of model prevention programs and the implementation's likely effect on the nation's cocaine consumption.
There is considerable uncertainty surrounding the cost-effectiveness of school-based drug prevention programseven the model programs to which we restrict the scope of this study. Hence we provide a range of cost-effectiveness estimates. The range is comparable to that previously derived for different enforcement interventions. Nationwide implementation of a model program would be affordable, but it would not dramatically affect the course of drug use, and also the benefits would take years to accrue. Nevertheless, implementing model prevention programs seems to be justifiable in that the benefits produced would likely outweigh the costs of the resources used.
This is the latest in a series of publications by RAND's Drug Policy Research Center that addresses the cost-effectiveness of drug control strategies. The other available volumes are as follows:
