Test Strip Training

Drug testing strips are a simple, low-cost tool that can help prevent overdose and reduce harm. These videos will walk you through how to use fentanyl and benzodiazepine test strips safely and effectively.

These training videos are intended for front-line workers in community settings who deliver services to people who use substances. They were created to supplement existing training programs teaching workers how to use test strips.

All workers who handle substances as part of drug checking services should meet the minimum standards for safe handling practices, drug crushing, and disposal of drug checking samples. Refer to your organization for additional training required.
