Random drug testing of middle-schoo

Random drug testing of middle-school students may help prevent substance abuse, a six-year study of New Jersey students suggests.

Students who were randomly tested for drugs were less likely to use them in later years, according to the study, conducted by the Partnership for a Drug-Free New Jersey and Fairleigh Dickinson University. The researchers found drug use by students in grades 6-8 is relatively rare, Newsworks reports.
