title: [Urinary screening of drugs of abuse among drivers involved in road accidents].
abstract: Driving under the influence of drugs is a growing cause of traffic injuries. Therefore the Abbott Laboratories established a study to estimate the consumption of opiates, cannabinoids, cocaine and amphetamines among young adults involved in a road accident and to compare with a control group. Analytical procedure chosen include an anonymous collection of urines. Drugs are screened by fluorescence polarization immunoassay. Positive samples are confirmed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. Results do not show any difference between the two groups.
