With use of drugs such as cannabis, opioids, prescription and over-the-counter depressants, and stimulants growing more prevalent among drivers, driving under the influence of drugs (DUID) has become a major concern not only for law enforcement, but for public health experts as well. While drug-impaired driving is less understood than alcohol-impaired driving, standardized toxicological testing of drivers has shown promise as a strategy to help inform stakeholders of dangerous driving behaviors. Incorporating forensic testing into DUID investigations can help to form a more accurate account of an impaired driving case. Testing results can be used as evidence in civil and criminal litigation , and the results may also impact potential substance use intervention and treatment. Over time, routine, standardized DUID testing can help raise awareness of the frequency and danger of drug-impaired driving for law enforcement, policy makers, and drivers. In this episode of the Government Technology Insider Podcast, we spoke to Donna Papsun, Forensic Toxicologist and NMS Labs, to learn more about how forensic testing may help reduce drug-impaired driving and increase public safety .","meta_description":"“Driving under the influence” often suggests alcohol is the source of impairment, but many substances can affect a person’s ability to drive safely and in…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":898,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-government-technology-insider-podcast-6475483/episodes/forensic-testing-helps-prevent-drug-impaired-driving-and-maintain-public-safety/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-government-technology-insider-podcast-6475483/forensic-testing-helps-prevent-drug-impaired-driving-and-maintain-public-safety.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
