摘要

背景:为了确保道路安全,联邦政府要求卡车运输公司在允许司机驾驶商用机动车之前进行岗前尿液药物测试。不幸的是,尿液检测的检测窗口很短,很容易受阻,导致一些携带者采用毛发检测。方法:采用t检验比较美国七家大型卡车运输公司提供的头发和尿液的就业前药物测试结果。结果:结果表明,在统计上,每种检查药物和所有药物的组合中,头发的阳性率都高于尿液。结论:这篇论文是我们所知的唯一一篇评估头发和尿液检测阳性率之间统计差异的供应链工作。这些结果支持头发检测提高了防止生活方式吸毒者驾驶商用机动车的能力,公共政策制定者应考虑是否应允许头发检测结果进入毒品和酒精信息交换所。

A Comparison of Truck Driver Pre-Employment Hair and Urine Drug Test Efficacy
Background: To help ensure roadway safety, the federal government mandates trucking companies to conduct pre-employment urine drug tests before allowing drivers to operate a commercial motor vehicle. Unfortunately, urine testing has a short detection window and is easily thwarted, leading some carriers to employ hair testing. Methods: t-tests were utilized to compare hair and urine pre-employment drug test results provided by seven large U.S. trucking companies. Results: results indicate that hair’s positivity rate is statistically greater than urine for each examined drug and across all drugs combined. Conclusions: This paper is the only supply chain work of which we are aware that assesses the statistical differences between hair and urine testing positivity rates. Results support hair testing’s increased ability to prevent lifestyle drug users from operating commercial motor vehicles and should be considered by public policy makers considering whether hair testing results should be allowed into the Drug and Alcohol Clearinghouse.
