School Drug Testing Doesn't Reduce Drug Use
Monday July 7, 2003
A large study (76,000 students across the United States) found no difference in drug use rates between students of schools that have drug testing programs and those that do not. The study entitled "Relationship between student illicit drug use and school drug-testing policies," was published in the May 2003 issue of the Journal of School Health. The Supreme Court decided in 2002 that drug testing of students who participated in extra-curricular activities was a constitutional practice.
The study entitled "Relationship between student illicit drug use and school drug-testing policies," was published in the May 2003 issue of the Journal of School Health. The Supreme Court ruled last year that drug testing of students who took part in extra-curricular activities was constitutional practice. The full .pdf file is available from OpenMinds.com:
