title: Creating an appropriate climate for drug use review.
abstract: Methods of establishing an appropriate climate for drug use review (DUR) programs are discussed. Characteristics of DUR programs proposed as essential for their initial acceptance and eventual continuity include objectivity, neutrality, and confidentiality. A retrospective DUR program is used as an illustrative model. The need to establish positive interpersonal peer relations is stressed.
