Relationship between student
illicit drug use and school drug-testing policies
The largest nationwide study of
student drug testing 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.
It reviewed 76,000 students across the country. Last year, the
Supreme Court decided that drug testing of students who
participated in extra-curricular activities was a constitutional
practice.
