Several principal roles should be represented in the decisionmaking tasks of program development. These can be discussed in three categories:

• Agency personnel should include administrators, managers, and line personnel of the agency that will be administering the drug-testing program. Testing programs are most likely to be developed in detention, corrections, probation, residential, and aftercare agencies. Administrators must make important decisions about agency resources, while managers and line personnel will implement the program. Input from all is vital. Any new program will affect the organization and staff of the agency implementing it. When both managers and staff are involved, they are more likely to support the effort. They also can provide key insights about the operation of the program, other staff and juveniles' reactions to it, and possible problems to avoid.

• Other juvenile justice system stakeholders who will not be involved directly with administering the drug-testing program, but whose support and views on drug testing will be important to the program, should be included in the planning process. These may consist of law enforcement personnel, judges, prosecuting and defense attorneys, paroling authority representatives, and court administrators. The appropriate mix of these representatives will depend on the agency(ies) implementing drug testing and the other juvenile justice agencies that might be affected by it.

• Community representatives also should be included as appropriate. For example, substance abuse treatment providers working with youth should be included. Family and caregivers are also critically important. Others to consider are personnel from education, social welfare, and healthcare organizations; technical experts; academicians; parents' or citizens' groups; and delegates from possible funding sources (e.g., businesses and the faith community).
