Drug Screening

ROBERT L. DUPONT MD1

To the Editor.—

The joint report of the committee on Adolescence, the Committee on Bioethics, and the Provisional Committee on Substance Abuse (Pediatrics 1989;84:396-398) appears to miss the mark by a wide margin. Drugs and kids are a bad combination. Those of us concerned about children and youth need to work to help them grow up drug free. Screening for drug use is no more a violation of privacy than is screening for diabetes or tuberculosis.
