Title of TalkAre Drug Tests As a Precondition for Welfare Receipt Cost-Effective?
AbstractRecently some states have implemented a program where an applicant for welfare must take and pass a drug test in order to receive benefits. Using the current law regarding how testing can be performed and some fact-based assumptions, a model for how cost-effective this program is can be developed. This model has been used as an exercise in a management science class as it can be applied to both public and corporate policies.
