Urine Drug Testing in Clinical Practice

The sixth edition of this monograph, first published in 2002, serves to address some of the current issues and controversies surrounding UDT. It describes why the use of UDT is at once (1) more complex and (2) potentially more useful than many clinicians appreciate. It is designed to assist clinicians to develop and implement a clear patient-centered testing strategy to incorporate tests into their practices as part of a balanced approach to optimal medical care and risk management, especially when prescribing controlled substances.
