Since 1986, when America's current perception of a drug abuse crisis in the workplace began, many challenges and potential solutions have been identified. As we enter the 1990s, real progress in awareness and action has been made in many public and private American workplaces. However, the most important accomplishment--actual reduction in the number of persons using drugs in the workforce--is considerably more difficult to achieve. Research is being conducted in a number of employment settings to document how this can be done. While the results to date are encouraging, it is also clear that much remains to be done. Evidence from the national research reported in this book shows that many organizations regard their achievements on this front as modest at best, even though they have installed systematic programs aimed at reducing the problems of worker drug abuse. The organizational change approach required to achieve drug-free workplaces is the main subject of this book. Based upon findings from a three-year national research study, Thomas Backer and Kirk O'Hara examine what has been done to combat drug abuse in the workplace. They place the results of their inquiry within the larger context of organizational change theory. The critical secondary issues of responses to AIDS in the workplace and containing employer health care costs through managed care are also addressed. This book's focus on programmatic responses to workplace drug abuse at the day-to-day implementation level will be welcomed by substance abuse professionals, designers and directors of employee assistance programs, human resources and benefits professionals, and managers concerned about substance abuse in the workplace.

This study investigated the prevalence of workplace drug prevention programs with regards to employee drug policies, drug testing, and employee assistance programs in a sample of Oregon manufacturing companies. The objectives of the study included: 1) identifying the contributing factors that supported the decision to implement or not implement a workforce drug policy and or a drug testing program; 2) identifying the different drug testing programs in use; 3) assessing how companies evaluated their drug testing programs; and 4) identifying the drug abuse-related services being provided through company employee assistance programs. A sample of 152 Oregon manufacturing companies with 100 or more employees was obtained from the Directory of Oregon Manufacturers, 1989-1990. A researcher-designed instrument was used to collect the information. Statistical procedures used for data analysis included frequency distribution, cross tabulation, and chi square. Approximately 80 percent of the manufacturing companies surveyed had a written workplace drug policy (83 percent) and a drug testing program (81 percent). In addition, 75 percent of the organizations had an employee assistance program which provided drug abuse-related services. Differences between manufacturers with drug polices and those without policies were not significant when comparisons were made based on company size and industry classification. Statistically significant differences were found between companies utilizing drug tests and those not testing when comparisons were made based on company size and industrial classification. Companies with drug testing programs (n= 123) administered tests to both job applicants (97 percent) and employees (92 percent). Applicants testing positive for drug use were not hired by most companies (93 percent), while "positive" employees were often (76 percent) referred to an employee assistance program. Few organizations (32 percent) attempted to measure the effectiveness of their testing program. Recommendations for further research included examining the drug prevention programs in a sample of all Oregon businesses. In addition, research should assess the perceptions of workers in Oregon with regards to the issue of workplace drug testing.
