No queues, you will not see here. This is not a military enlistment office, where two hundred boys in shorts huddle in line to the surgeon, deputy chief doctor of the Bashkir Drug Dependency Clinic Lilia Mikhailova explains that a universal rapid testing students for drugs. - We have the technology for a long time worked. Teens for two or three people come into the office, pass urine, it was immediately checked. The matter of five minutes.
Rapid tests conducted in Ufa schools since 2008, but interest in them povalny colleagues from other regions came just now - as soon as the president expressed a desire to extend this to the whole country.
- Such checks - is first and foremost a strong psychological deterrent to the spread of drug addiction among students, - says Methodist education department of the Kalinin district of Ufa Reseda Galliamova. - Firstly, teenagers still afraid of parents, who may find that their child something they consume. Secondly, now that each of them has an iron excuse in case he will offer drugs - now you can always say that tomorrow in the school testing.
- And parents do not mind?
- At first, many argued - enters conversation colleague Galliamova of Ordzhonikidze district administration Anna Garanina. - And more and longer resisted all parents of pupils from schools that are considered to have elite: "How is my such good Vanya-Kohl-Glory can use? That can not be, because it can never be. " But when tested yet started, it turned out that just such schools of disadvantaged children in terms of drugs the most. At traffickers same logic is simple: a sense of their children from the hill insolvent working areas? The first offer those who have money.
Opponents of a new initiative the two main claims. First, under the current laws of any medical examination can only be voluntary, mandatory testing violates this principle. Second, the experimental results in some regions show that the checking are ineffective. The expert of the Institute of Human Rights and the head of the "New Drug Policy" Lev Levinson recalls that in Tatarstan a few years ago have tested 300 thousand pupils and students, traces of drugs found in the blood in only four, and real drug showed seventeen. "And what about ten or twelve of them already knew the whole school or university" - says Levinson.
"In Tatarstan used only test strips for initial testing. And they can detect drug use only in the last three days, and besides, they have a big error, "- explains these results representative of the Ministry of Health Catherine Braslavskaya. Now, they say in the Ministry of testing will be multi-level. And the results will be known only to the doctor and parents of schoolchildren.
Effective checks can be while maintaining the principle of voluntariness. Ufa experience shows that the failure rate is small. Fifteen teenagers alone sign a written consent for those who are younger, do the parents. On the upcoming visit of the medical school principal warned three days, students will learn about it day to day. A positive test result is required to check back in a drug treatment clinic. The whole process will cover the municipality in the past year testing at a cost of two million rubles.
- Failures, of course, is - one or two people out of a hundred, - says a representative of the Bashkir State Drug Control Galina Karimova. - I have to be honest: the voluntary principle allows risk to leave. But only formally. Disclaimer already allows these students to take a pencil and work with them. Besides children, we are not stupid and realize that by refusing to take the test, they attract too much attention.
Mass rapid testing of the Bashkirian schools gradually moved into local universities. Several institutions stated that he was going to introduce what
such programs. They have proven effective: three years of mass drug test revealed the number decreased by three times.
