The Effect of community characteristics on support of DARE an investigation of Montana communities and their DARE programs

چکیده
Based on results from a larger study of DARE stakeholders in Montana, it was found that some communities experienced difficulties materially supporting their local DARE program, despite a perceived need for such a service. Past literature has indicated that success in local development efforts is highly related to the ability of a community power structure to mobilize resources. This thesis examines the degree to which the presence of an effective community power structure effects a community’s ability to successfully support a DARE program. Using county-level indicators, the effects of four-sets o f community characteristics (horizontal linkage, vertical linkage, socioeconomic health, and youth crime) on five measures of DARE success are examined. Findings reveal that communities with a higher degree of horizontal linkage, or the ability to mobilize resources from within, experience more success in supporting DARE. Implications for findings are discussed.
