"Laboratory Testing" can refer to any kind of testing that occurs in a laboratory. This includes the tests themselves, the results, methodology, protocols, etc. "Drug Tests" is a very small part of "Laboratory Testing." However, while it is mostly scientists who are interested in overall laboratory testing, lots and lots of folks are interested in drug testing: the tests that are applied to see what (usually recreational) drugs a person has used, or is using.

It's important to note that this isn't a how-to book for criminals to avoid legitimate testing. First, the legality of drug testing outside of the legal/law enforcement community -- and the way that information is handled -- is constantly in the legal spotlight. And it should be. It's a hugely intrusive test that can easily yield false positives (and negatives). It's a test in which the results can change the rest of your life. So, due to the not-unexpected interest in this aspect of lab testing, there's a specific category that applies only to this subset.
