Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Police samples for suspected DUI samples that have been sent for alcohol analysis or drug analysis only will be screened for drugs and alcohol respectively.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Often if the primary suspicion of the apprehending police officer is of driving under the influence of drugs or alcohol then only laboratory analysis concerning that primary suspicion is requested.
The study aims to provide information about those 'missed cases' where only analysis for drugs or alcohol is carried out. Traffic police samples from a 2 week period are to be screened for both drugs and alcohol, even if the primary suspicion is only one of these.
The study is part of the EU-project DRUID. Altogether 13 European countries are participating in DRUID.
