Laboratory drug testing programs may be effective in reducing substance use by adolescents, but developmentally appropriate programs have not been described, and it is unknown if adolescents would be willing to participate in drug testing.
To describe a drug testing protocol for adolescents and report on acceptance rate by patients participating in an outpatient adolescent substance abuse program.
Eligible adolescents participating in an outpatient substance abuse treatment program were offered a random laboratory drug testing program that is described in detail in this manuscript. We recorded whether they accepted and, if not, the reason for refusal.
Of the first 114 eligible patients, 67 (59%) agreed to participate in a drug testing program (PDT).
A majority of adolescents participating in an outpatient drug treatment program agreed to participate in a drug testing program that requires frequent urine specimens and reports results to parents. Future studies should determine how this program affects treatment outcomes and whether this program is feasible in primary care.
实验室药物检测计划可能有助于减少青少年的药物使用，但尚未描述适合青少年发展的计划，也不知道青少年是否愿意接受药物检测。
描述一种针对青少年的药物检测方案，并报告参加门诊青少年药物滥用治疗计划的患者的接受率。
参与门诊药物滥用治疗计划的符合条件的青少年被提供了一个随机实验室药物检测计划，该计划在本文中有详细描述。我们记录了他们是否接受了检测，如果没有，记录拒绝的原因。
在最初的 114 名符合条件的患者中，有 67 名（59%）同意参加药物检测计划（PDT）。
大多数参加门诊药物治疗计划的青少年同意参加需要频繁尿液样本并向父母报告结果的药物检测计划。未来的研究应确定该计划如何影响治疗结果，以及该计划在初级保健中的可行性。
