The D.A.R.E. Decision Making Model is a structured approach designed to teach individuals how to make responsible and safe choices. It encompasses a four-step process: Define, Assess, Respond, and Evaluate. The 'Define' step requires identifying the problem at hand, while 'Assess' involves gathering information and considering different options and their outcomes. The 'Respond' step is where a choice is made and acted upon, followed by the 'Evaluate' phase, which encourages reflection on the decision's effectiveness and the lessons learned from the experience. This framework is intended to guide students on how to navigate challenging situations, such as peer pressure, effectively.
