VERY
IMPORTANT!
Youth (child or teen) drug testing MUST, by necessity, be
very different than the “workplace” or “corporate”
testing performed on "employees"! Here are five
(5)reasons how and why...
REASON
#1-
In the corporate world, it is legally essential that
there be a well-defined connection between the illicit
substance ingested and ‘impaired ability” on the job.
Therefore drug test results for an employees will show
"positive" for drugs only when AT OR ABOVE a
certain "cut off" level. The cut-off level varies,
depending on the drug tested. However, it is always a
level which has already been legally established (for that
particular drug) to be one which physically or mentally
"impairs" an employee.
As an example,
let's look at employee drug testing for
"Marijuana-use". The laboratory will
report such a test as "positive" ONLY if it tests out at or
above a level of "50" nanograms per milliliter (50 ng/ml)
of urine. If the lab test shows a level of
ONLY "49" ng/ml of urine, the lab will
report that drug test of any employee "negative". Yes,
there was evidence of marijuana in the employee's system,
however, because the level was below the legally
established cut-off level, the employee is reported as
negative...and they keep their job.
However, as
a parent, would you be happy to learn that your
teenager's test came out at a level of ONLY "49
ng/ml"??? We don't think so! It still
means they were (or are) "smoking pot" doesn't it?
Duh...Yes!
Therefore,
Health-Tests
Direct™
suggests that teenagers always be tested for all
drugs - not just marijuana -
at the
lowest detectable level
possible...and NOT at the "at or above" level used
in business and Industry employee drug testing. To that
end,
Health-Tests
Direct™
has made special testing arrangements with the lab, and
ALL the drug tests that we offer to you below
for testing your children will do
that!
REASON
#2-
Standard workplace employee tests do not test for all
the drugs teens commonly use, such as MDMA (the kids call it
"Ecstasy")
and Ketamine (an animal tranquilizer used by veterinarians
that the kids use to "zone out" and call
"Special
K", after the Kellogg's cereal of the same name).
Testing for these and other Methamphetamines is, however,
included in all the drug test kits below for you to test your
children.
REASON
#3-
Kids who regularly do drugs also know about “adulterating” a
drug test, or, gorging themselves with water so that the test
will not show positive results. Since our drug tests go
to a forensic laboratory, adulterants or “intentional
hydration” will be caught and reported to you. The lab
report will let you know that your child "hydrated" or
"adulterated" their specimen to avoid a positive
result.
REASON
#4-
The so-called “Immediate Results” or "instant" drug test kits
promoted and sold all over the Internet are all designed for
duplicating the same high cut-off levels (i.e.,
too high when testing teens and youths) that are used
for employee workplace testing. For
that reason, "instant" test kits are NOT recommended for
testing your children. Our sister-company, OHS
Inc., sells these kits, but ONLY for EMPLOYEE drug
testing, NOT for testing youths (children and
teens).
REASON
#5-
Hair Testing screens for drugs over a greater window of
detection time (usually 90 days) but does not detect
some types of drugs popular among kids today. We
recommend that if you want to use a hair test to check for
"past 90 days use", that you ALSO use a urine test to test for
"recent" use.
The Parents-Taking-Action
"Youth" drug test kits shown below come
with pre-paid mailing envelopes, for shipping your
child's specimen to the lab. Results are
available within 24 hours of specimen receipt at the
laboratory (results for hair tests usually take 24-48 hours
longer to report). Instructions are included for parents
to collect the specimen (urine or hair) themselves at home,
or, there is a toll free number to call for assignment to a
nearby CLINIC that will collect the specimen for
you. (If collected at a clinic, there is a $20.00
charge to cover the clinic urine collection fee.
Twenty-five dollars ($25) is the clinic fee for collection of
any hair specimen.)
When placing
your order, we ensure that all your personal
and
credit card information is encrypted and fully secured
safe by VeriSign™.
Order the Youth Kits" described below
by calling us at 1-800-456-4647 ext.203
Please
note that all three "Youth Kits" described below undergo
"special testing" of your child's specimen at the
lab. "Special testing"
means that we instruct the lab to test your child's specimen
for all drugs listed below at under the cut-off levels
that are used when testing an employee's specimen.
Obviously, this means that a "positive" test may result from
the specimen of your child that would NOT test positive at an
employee (i.e., higher) cut-off level.
Also,
tests using the "Youth Kits" below may reveal the presence
in your child's
system of one or more
illicit drugs for which employees are almost never
tested! As a truly
concerned and caring parent, this is exactly the type
of drug test that you should want for your child- i.e.,
FULL DISCLOSURE of any illicit drug use, no matter how
"little" the amount present in their
system!
DRUG
TESTING KITS QUANTITY: Although we
do not require it, we strongly recommend that you always order
at least "five" (5) kits at a time. Why?
Many
drugs are "out of the system" in only hours. Drug testing can
be dangerous if a parent uses one test and concludes that his
child does not use drugs. We suggest three unannounced tests
with negative results. It is also wise to keep a kit "on-hand"
for immediate use for "reasonable suspicion". Use it when you
observe signs of abuse or are aware that your teenager has
been in the company of users or comes home past curfew. Often
just knowing that a kit is available to be used in such a
situation is a strong deterrent. The fifth kit is to have on
hand while waiting for delivery of your reorder.
Drug test kits should be "on-hand" at ALL times in the
home. Making certain your children are aware that
the tests kits are always "at the ready" - is an excellent
drug-use prevention
measure.
