Page Count: 3. 7 Annotation: This booklet documents the successful use of urinalysis in local and national drug screening programs, discusses urinalysis screening in corrections, and provides instructions on operating an in- house urine testing program. Abstract: Program descriptions reflect various experiences in using urinalysis screening systems. They deal with the West Texas Regional Adult Probation Department; the Montgomery County (Md.) Pre- Release Center; Emerson House, a Denver residential treatment program; the Oregon State Hospital Cornerstone program; the Federal prison system drug program; and the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration (LEAA)- sponsored Treatment Alternatives to Street Crimes (TASC) Program. The major uses for urinalysis testing are screening for release on own recognizance, classifying offenders, monitoring treatment, initiating intervention following drug use, collecting data for program and budget planning, controlling contraband, testing for 'rampant' institutional drug abuse, and monitoring drug use after conjugal visits.
Several legal considerations, however, can influence successful use of this testing, particularly for referral screening. These constraints include the 'voluntariness' principle, fourth amendment search and seizure rules, and due process rights, which can be affected by the test's accuracy. Steps to follow in setting up an in- house urine testing laboratory are described, using the California Department of Corrections an example. The description covers staffing and training scheduling, budget requirements, facility design, testing protocol, legal requirements, and the usefulness of the procedure. An annotated bibliography with eight citations, a directory of TASC projects, and sample testing and recording procedures are appended. Index Term(s): Urinalysis ; Correctional facilities ; Drug treatment ; Drug testing ; Program implementation.

Discuss this issue with both your obstetrician or health care provider and your future baby's doctor before you give birth. Know what tests are routinely done in your state and in the hospital where you'll deliver (some hospitals go beyond what's required by state law). If your state isn't offering screening for the expanded panel of disorders, you may want to ask your doctors about supplemental screening, though you'll probably have to pay for additional tests yourself.
Urinalysis Screening Programs For Adolescents
If you're concerned about whether your infant was screened for certain conditions, ask your child's doctor for information about which tests were done and whether further tests are recommended. Newborn screening varies by state and is subject to change, especially given advancements in technology. However, the disorders listed here are the ones typically included in newborn screening programs. PKUWhen this disorder is detected early, feeding an infant a special formula low in phenylalanine can prevent mental retardation. A low- phenylalanine diet will need to be followed throughout childhood and adolescence and perhaps into adult life.
This diet cuts out all high- protein foods, so people with PKU often need to take a special artificial formula as a nutritional substitute. Incidence: 1 in 1. Congenital Hypothyroidism.
This is the disorder most commonly identified by routine screening. Affected babies don't have enough thyroid hormone and so develop retarded growth and brain development. Incidence: 1 in 4,0. Galactosemia. Babies with galactosemia lack the enzyme that converts galactose (one of two sugars found in lactose) into glucose, a sugar the body is able to use. As a result, milk (including breast milk) and other dairy products must be eliminated from the diet.
Otherwise, galactose can build up in the system and damage the body's cells and organs, leading to blindness, severe mental retardation, growth deficiency, and even death. Incidence: 1 in 6. Several less severe forms of galactosemia that may be detected by newborn screening may not require any intervention.
