“…A larger German DUID study on 2539 serum samples reported an SC positivity rate of 10.8% 11 . In an abstinence control program for driver's license regranting, research by Hutter et al 26 determined SCs in 13% of 97 hair samples, and Fels et al 27 found SCs in 7% of 577 hair samples and 0.4% in 460 urine samples, respectively.…”
