Adding urine and saliva toxicology to SBIRT for drug screening of new patients.BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES
 To determine illicit drug use among new patients in primary medical care who denied using "street drugs" during Screening, Brief Intervention and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT).


 96 new patients who denied use of "street drugs" were tested for drugs as part of routine SBIRT screening.


 Drug toxicology can detect unreported illicit drug use during SBIRT screening, with urine being superior to saliva.


 Drug toxicology can increase the effectiveness of SBIRT screening in primary care medical clinics.
