School drug testing - Abstracts - study by Oregon Health and Sciences University - Brief Article  [|School Administrator], [|April, 2003] High schools with random drug-testing programs dramatically lowered rates of drug use among student athletes, according to a study by the Oregon Health and Sciences University. The study, funded by the National Institutes of Health, was conducted at two Oregon high schools. Wahronka High School in Dalles, Ore., requires mandatory drug tests for its athletes. A school of comparable size, Warrenton High School outside Astoria, Ore., does not. Based on student surveys, 5.3 percent of the athletes subjected to drug testing reported using illegal substances compared to 19.4 percent of those who were not randomly tested. http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0JSD/is_4_60/ai_99555582

 * What I understand from the first paragraph is that school drug testing is helping lower students to take drugs, which proves to me that is a really good idea to keep doing so. **
 * The two high school started drug testing their athletes but I think that the good results will lead them to start doing it to the whole school. **
 * It don’t matter if drug testing is randomly it will help the schools control students away from drugs **
