In April 2007, a federally funded study of four abstinence-only programs by Mathematica Policy Research Inc., found that participants had just as many sexual partners as nonparticipants and had sex at the same median age as nonparticipants. The four programs had taught students about human anatomy and sexually transmitted diseases, helped them improve their communication skills, manage peer pressure, set personal goals and build self-esteem.

For Colorado, the study results sealed the decision to get out of the program. Dr. Ned Calonge, the state's chief medical officer, said Mathematica's methods were the gold standard for scientific studies.

"To show no benefit compared to nothing. That was striking," Calonge said. "These are tax dollars that are going for no useful purpose, and it would not be responsible for us to take those dollars."


Hahahahah... They actually came up with a program so flawed that states won't even take their money. Wheee!!!

They stuck me in D.A.R.E. the first year it came to Mass. (For some reason they figured I was an at-risk kid, go figure!) That was the year they learned, a) don't bring real drugs to class for demonstration purposes, and b) don't turn your back on grade school kids who get stuck in D.A.R.E. LOL
