Distinguish a routine urinalysis from a drug screen designed to detect particular substances. A result requires context.
## Working notes
[[Cal. Fam. Code § 3041.5]] governs specified court-ordered testing in custody and visitation cases. It requires evidence of the statutory grounds, the least intrusive method, and the required testing standards.
The statute protects confidentiality and permits a hearing to challenge a positive result. A positive test alone does not determine custody.
> [!warning] Interpretation
> Consider the substance tested, medication, confirmation testing, and all relevant best-interest factors.
