AB  - The emergency department (ED) at Louisiana State University-Health Science Center 
      in Shreveport (LSUHSC-S) serves an urban population with a large rural catchment 
      area. This study focuses on demographic variables in substance abuse trends in 
      this region based on urine drug screen (UDS) results. A database of de-identified 
      UDSs ordered in the ED at LSUHSC-S between 1998 and 2011 was analyzed. Samples 
      were tested for the presence of amphetamines, barbiturates, benzodiazepines, 
      cannabinoids, cocaine, 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), methadone, 
      methamphetamine, opiates, phencyclidine, and propoxyphene. The patient population 
      was categorized by age group, gender, and race. The majority of tests were 
      performed on African-American and Caucasian patients ages 18 to 54 followed by 
      the 0 to 11-year-old group. Of the drugs tested, cannabinoids represented the 
      highest percentage of positive results in both the African-American and Caucasian 
      populations. Opiates returned the highest percent of positive results among all 
      prescription drugs. The Caucasian population predominated in positive tests for 
      prescription drugs (opiates and benzodiazepines), while the African-American 
      population predominated in results positive for illicit drugs (cannabinoids and 
      cocaine). The increasing presence of opiates and cannabinoids, particularly in 
      very young patients, should prompt policy makers and healthcare providers to 
      develop intervention strategies to protect the most vulnerable populations.
