New Hair Data Validate Sharp Downward Trend in Cocaine and Methamphetamine Positivity in General U.S. Workforce, According to Quest Diagnostics Drug Testing Index(TM)
Date:11/20/2009

.

Dr. Sample added, "Side-by-side analysis of the insights provided by both hair and urine specimens from the same set of donors shows alignment with the findings of our broader DTI report and enhances our understanding of the advantages each drug testing method brings. With this richer understanding, employers can use these tools in ways that best fit their drug testing needs and their workforce configurations."

About the Drug Testing Index(TM) (DTI)

The Drug Testing Index is published as a public service for government, media and industry and has been considered a benchmark for national trends since its inception in 1988. It examines positivity rates - the proportion of positive results for each drug to all such drug tests performed by Quest Diagnostics - among three major testing populations: federally mandated, safety-sensitive workers; the general workforce; and the combined U.S. workforce. Federally mandated, safety-sensitive workers include pilots, bus and truck drivers, and workers in nuclear power plants, for whom routine drug testing is mandated by the U.S. Department of Transportation and the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
