abstract="There is a great need worldwide to develop an effective roadside test that quickly and reliably measures the concentration of drugs (in drivers) that are believed to impair driving. Saliva-based as drug screening devices aim to quickly determine the presence or absence of a range of drugs in drivers, and are being evaluated in Europe and Australia. The relationship between self-reported levels of drug use, saliva and blood drug screen results was examined using one such saliva-based drug screening device. Fifty-nine clients who use the needle exchange service at the Turning Point clinic participated. These clients were chosen as they were likely to regularly use the drugs of interest; these drug types being opiates, cannabis, benzodiazepines, amphetamines, and cocaine. The clients also provided a blood sample and completed a detailed survey about their drug use in the 48 hours prior to interview. Self-reported drug use was then compared with the results from blood drug screen analyses and the saliva screening device.  Keywords: Cannabis impaired driving; DUID; Ethanol impaired driving<p />",
