This project addresses the need for more empirical information and for
a clearer understanding about drug abuse in the United States work force.
Data in the first phase of the research were obtained from confidential
self-report questionnaires completed by a sample of 2,000 employees in
a large southwestern city in the U.S. The long-term objectives of the
project are to obtain direct and indirect estimates of drug use prevalence
among employees and to identify factors which contribute to drug use and
impaired job performance.

The purpose of this 3-year project is to refine, implement, and evaluate a team-based

consequences. |
