From the author: Employees of many businesses and government agencies in metropolitan Miami (Dade County, Florida) took five voluntary annual surveys (1989-1993) regarding their attitudes toward and use of drugs. The Workplace Drug Survey data indicated three positive conclusions about employee drug use and attitudes for Dade employees. Overall, reported illicit drug abuse rates are low when compared with national norms, and most employees know that their employer has a policy on alcohol and drug abuse. Employers also refer employees with drug or alcohol problems to an Employee Assistance Program (EAP). This demonstrates the effective information campaign conducted by the Miami Coalition. In addition, these results are likely to be representative of major Dade County employers, public and private.
