Broadly defined, drug testing uses a biological sample to detect the presence or absence of a drug or its metabolites. This process can be completed in a variety of settings and with a variety of techniques. Many drug screening immunoassays were initially designed for use in the workplace as a drug screening tool for employees. As these tests have become cheaper, more readily available, and ...
Drug Testing and Analysis
Drug Testing and Analysis is a specialist journal covering sports doping, recreational drugs, pharmaceuticals, toxico-pathology, forensics, and the environment. ... In addition to primary research articles, case reports and letters, we feature 'How To' material, speculative pieces, and our iconic 'Annual Banned Substance Reviews ...
Clinical Drug Testing
Clinical drug testing analyzes plasma, serum, or urine to detect the presence or absence of a drug or its metabolites. As the metabolization rate of drugs differs, the detection window for specific drugs or metabolites varies. Clinical drug testing plays an essential role in managing poisoning because the self-report of the drugs taken is often unreliable. The same is true in treating ...

Toxicity testing is evolving!
This review will consider some of the various initiatives in Europe to identify NAMs to replace or refine the current toxicity-testing methods for pharmaceuticals. This paper also presents a novel systematic approach to support the desired toxicity-testing methodologies that the 21st century deserves.

NIDA does not administer drug testing programs, assist in interpreting drug test results, or manufacture, regulate, or distribute drug screening ...
A comprehensive review of discovery and development of drugs discovered
1. Introduction. Drug discovery and development is a process that involves the identification, optimization, pre-clinical and clinical studies to extensively test and characterize the new drug molecule for its pharmacological properties and toxicity profile (Sleire et al., 2017).After the successful completion of the Human Genome project in 2003, a rough draft of the human genome has been ...

School drug testing: a critical review of the literature
This paper explores the question of whether school drug testing is an effective solution to tackle adolescent substance abuse problems. Research studies in major academic databases and Internet websites are reviewed. Several observations are highlighted from the review: (1) there are few research st …
Improving target assessment in biomedical research: the GOT-IT ...
Academic research has a key role in identifying new drug targets, but to lead to new drugs this research must progress to testing drug candidates in clinical trials, which are typically conducted ...
Hair analysis for the detection of drug use—is there potential for
Drug testing, including hair analysis, is increasingly utilized in some employment sectors, especially where there are safety concerns around drug use (Ironmonger 2014; Karch 2016; UIC 2008). There is weak evidence however, linking drug testing to reducing employee drug use rates, or accident, and injury incidence (Pidd & Roche, 2014). After ...
A discussion of the ethical implications of random drug testing in the
The descriptive analysis explicates three important issues that require a normative analysis: (1) the evidence about the effectiveness of workplace random drug testing is of poor quality, so at most there is an absence of evidence; (2) there is a concern about whether the benefits gained from random drug testing justifies the infringement on ...
Workplace Drug Testing and Worker Drug Use
Controls include: the drug testing indicator, a dummy variable indicating the respondent does not know if there is a workplace testing program, a male dummy, dummies for less than high school education, some college, and BA or more, dummy variables for non-Hispanic black and Hispanic, dummies for age groups 25-34 and 35+, a military service ...
Current practice and experience in drug and alcohol testing in the
The present paper presents a review of the current practice and experience in drug and alcohol testing in the workplace, focusing primarily on the United States of America. After reviewing the history of workplace drug screening, the author describes the growth and impact of the drug-testing industry. He outlines the four most common rationales ...
PDF Workplace Drug Testing: An Overview of the Current Situation
Efects on daytime performance may diminish over time as a result of tolerance [18]. The main goal of this paper is to review the present situation of the workplace drug testing, especially in countries from the European Union where there is no specific legislation in contraposition with United States or Australia.

7 Impact of Drug-Testing Programs on Productivity
For example, it is well known that an individual who is a chronic user of marijuana can test positive for days or even weeks after having stopped using the drug, and that marijuana use that is completely divorced from the work setting can nevertheless lead to a positive drug test. Research on attitudes toward drug testing and on perceptions of ...
PDF Drug Testing and the Right to Privacy: Arguing the Ethics of ...
Drug testing is becoming an increasingly accepted method for controlling the effects of substance abuse in the workplace. Since drug abuse has been correlated with a decline in corporate profitability and an increase in the occurrence of work-related accidents, employers are justifying drug testing on both legal and.
Drug Testing Research Papers
Through this research it can be concluded that doping is far more pervasive that WADA's statistics would suggest, doping detection methods are unfit for purpose, it is questionable whether the true motives for those who organise testing are more political than egalitarian and there are great genetic dissimilarities between elite-athletes (who ...
Random Drug Testing in US Public School Districts
Student drug testing on a suspicionless or random basis is currently sanctioned by the Supreme Court for students participating in extracurricular activities1, 2 and is supported by the Office of National Drug Control Policy.3, 4 Although supporters of the strategy argue that it deters students' initial use, has beneficial consequences for the early detection and treatment of drug use, and ...
