appropriate support services to them. The drug testing results of individuals will
not be passed onto the Police.
5.6 An NGO has been commissioned to set up a student drug testing
team (SDT team) comprising two nurses (one male and one female), two social
workers and one information administrator. The SDT team will provide oneweek
advance notice to a school principal before the school visit. Test dates and
frequencies will not be made known to the students. The SDT team will visit the
23 secondary schools in Tai Po district at irregular time intervals over the school
year. Students are randomly selected for the screening test.
5.7 To sponsor professional testing and support services to students and
parents participating in the Scheme, the Beat Drugs Fund approved a funding of
about $11 million for (a) formation of the SDT team; (b) Scheme coordination,
case management and counseling service (for both students and parents) by the
designated CCPSA and consultation by medical practitioners to deal with drug
abuse cases uncovered by the Scheme; (c) NGOs providing enhanced school
social work service in the Tai Po district; and (d) logistic and administrative
support to all participating schools.
5.8 The ND has commissioned an evaluation research in parallel to
undertake a comprehensive assessment of the Scheme, research on other local
and overseas experience in school drug testing including a review of overseas
literature and studies, and suggest appropriate refinements and revisions to
the Scheme. The study is expected to be completed in the third quarter of
2010.
5.9 The experience gained and feedback collected in the implementation
of the Scheme would provide empirical data to facilitate the evaluation research
and strategic planning of future anti-drug activities. Bureaux and departments
concerned will consolidate the experience gained and make reference to the
recommendations of the research study when considering the way forward for
school-based drug testing.

further discuss the way forward upon the completion of the Scheme and the
evaluation research.
