Urine Toxicology Screening in an Urban Stroke and TIA Population
Neurol 80:1702-1709, Silver, B.,et al, 2013
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
In this study, patients with stroke and TIA who were young and black were more likely to have urine toxicology screening. Eleven percent of all tested patients (and 9% of patients 50 years or older) were positive for cocaine. To avoid disparities, we suggest that all stroke and TIA patients be tested.
