A Model for Drug Testing.

Abstract

To make a drug-testing program successful and to minimize the cost of the program, the minimum number of tests that must be given in a specified period to identify a fixed percentage of drug users must be determined. This memorandum presents a Markov model that can be used to determine the number of tests that should be given. In addition, three applications of the model, showing how it can be used to analyze the drug-user population, are presented.
