Green Screens

Green Screen is a special test that can check for certain drugs in your system if you think you've been drugged. If something doesn't feel right after a night out, getting tested quickly can make a difference.

If you think you or a friend may have been drugged, Green Screens are available to USC students to help identify certain drugs that may have been used without your knowledge and  can connect you with the care and support you need.

Some drugs leave the body quickly, so it's important to seek medical care as soon as possible if something doesn't feel right. You don't have to be sure you were drugged to ask for help. Trust your instincts, visit Student Health and ask about a Green Screen test.
