Abstract
In an ER setting, the validity of the diagnosis of drug abuse exclusively based on psychiatric interview is low. The use of on-site UTS provides accurate data on drug use and is more practical as compared to post hoc laboratory assessment. On-site UTS has an added diagnostic value of drug use with high sensitivity and specificity.
