These guidelines provide recommendations for developing campus drug education and testing programs.
College and university health and athletic officials are justly distressed about the influence of drugs on injury rates, academic performance, and the physical and emotional health of their student athletes. Institutions involved in implementing or re-evaluating their drug education and testing programs may find assistance in reviewing guidelines offered by collegiate sports governing bodies. ACHA recommends that colleges and universities respond effectively to the issue of drugs on our campuses by developing sound educational programs, emphasizing that drug testing should be done only as a component of this educational process.
