Prepare for the excuses before they arrive—Dispel myths, expose tricks, and strengthen your testing process. Every collector, clinician, or program manager has heard an excuse from a donor attempting to avoid a positive result at one point in their careers. Excuses and myths around point-of-care drug testing for drugs of abuse are as common as the tests themselves. From claims of secondhand smoke exposure to blaming over-the-counter medications, patients and donors often have ready-made explanations.
This webinar explores the most common myths, misconceptions, and excuses in rapid drug testing—including cross-reactivity concerns, false positives, window of detection misunderstandings, environmental exposure claims, and specimen adulteration attempts. We’ll break down what’s fact versus fiction, give you tools to confidently address these challenges, and open the floor for attendees to share their own experiences and solutions.
By the end, you’ll leave with practical strategies to dispel myths, recognize manipulations, and handle excuses with professionalism and clarity.
