 Making
Sense of
Student
Drug
Testing
For the safety and
well being of young people, it is crucial to develop
programs that effectively address drug use. To succeed, these
programs must be grounded in research, compassion, and health.
They must also promote trust and honest dialogue between adults
and young people. The authors
of this booklet, the Drug Policy Alliance and the American
Civil Liberties Union, have analyzed, researched, and litigated
student drug testing for many years. We have listened to the
experts from the American Academy of Pediatrics and the
American Public Health Association to
hundreds of concerned educators,
parents, and students across the country. The experts agree,
and the evidence is clear: random drug testing does not effectively
reduce drug use among young people.
