However, there is currently no summary of the published clinical practice guidelines for UDS in Canada, and no measure of the consistency with which different provinces suggest administering UDS. Therefore, we conducted a policy scan of UDS guidelines, examining the published clinical practice guidelines for each Canadian province and extracting all relevant data in March 2017. Our Canadian guideline and policy scan found that UDS frequency recommendations vary greatly among Provinces for persons receiving opioid agonist therapy for opioid use disorder.enGuidelinesOpioid agonist therapyCanadian guideline and policy scanUrine drug screeningJournal Article926910.1097/CXA.00000000000000152018-07-26https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/ie/
