摘要：In less than a decade drug testing has become a way of life in public and private employment. There is also widespread drug testing in the military and efforts are under way to require drug testing in schools, hospitals, prisons, and other settings. Public opinion polls ~indicate strong support for drug testing. Why? Is it necessary? Is it 6ffective? Is it consistent with societal values? Does it promote impzrtant societal interests? Other countries also have substance abuse problems. Why is the United States alone in fighting substance abuse with millions of drug tests each year?
