    Abstract:
    Substance abuse in the workplace has been a growing concern in recent years and ways to detect employees and applicants who use drugs has been the subject of much debate. In this article, the results of a survey on the attitudes of medical practice human resource managers on drug testing of both employees and applicants are given. For this study, 273 human resource managers were sent questionnaires detailing various attitude statements and were asked for their level of agreement. Categories of questions included the administrators' general philosophy of drug testing, their attitudes toward the organizational impact of drug testing, their attitudes toward the implementation of drug testing and their attitudes toward specific issues pertinent to drug testing in medical groups.
