Making Sense of Student Drug Testing

Kern, Jennifer, et al. Making Sense of Student Drug Testing: Why Educators Are Saying No. Oakland: Drug Policy Alliance. January 6, 2006, 32 pages.

The experts agree, and the evidence is clear! Random drug testing does not reduce drug use among young people. Spending extra millions on testing students' urine will only destroy relationships between youth and adults. This booklet demonstrates the key flaws in random student drug testing and outlines promising alternatives to the invasive and expensive practice.

A downloadable PDF of the booklet is available from this site. To order hardcopy(s) please visit: http://www.drugtestingfails.org/ .
