1. A computer based method for determining if a participant should be tested for alcohol or drugs, comprising the steps of:

  • (a) conducting an enrollment of the participant into a computer device comprising the following steps;

    (i) collecting a fingerprint biometric enrollment data of the participant;

    (ii) collecting a voice biometric enrollment data of the participant;

    (iii) collecting an image biometric enrollment data of the participant;

    (iv) creating a testing schedule for the participant, the testing schedule defining a plurality of testing times that the participant is to be tested;

    (b) testing the participant comprising the following steps;

    (i) validating the participant comprising the following steps;

    (1) collecting a fingerprint biometric testing data of the participant;

    (2) comparing the fingerprint biometric testing data to the fingerprint biometric enrollment data to make a determination that the participant testing is the same as the enrollment of the participant;

    (3) collecting a first image biometric testing data of the participant, the first image biometric testing data being collected at substantially the same time as the fingerprint biometric testing data is collected;

    (4) collecting a voice biometric testing data of the participant;

    (5) comparing the voice biometric testing data to the voice biometric enrollment data to make a determination that the participant testing is the same as the enrollment of the participant;

    (6) collecting a second image biometric testing data of the participant, the second image biometric testing data being collected at substantially the same time as the voice biometric testing data is collected;

    (7) collecting a third image biometric testing data of the participant;

    (8) comparing each of the first image biometric testing data, the second image biometric testing data, and the third image biometric testing data to the image biometric enrollment data to make a determination that the participant testing is the same as the enrollment of the participant;

    (ii) performing a test of the participant comprising the following steps;

    (1) blowing of the participant into the computer device for creating testing data of the participant, the third image biometric testing data of the participant being collected at substantially the same time as the blowing of the participant into the computer device for creating testing data of the participant is occurring;

    (c) analyzing the testing data of the participant comprising the following steps;

    (i) defining a plurality of tests to compare to the testing data, each of the plurality of tests having assigned to it a test value;

    (ii) comparing the testing data to the test value of each of the plurality of tests and obtaining an individual test result for each of the plurality of tests;

    (iii) defining a plurality of criteria to compare to the individual test results for each of the plurality of tests;

    (iv) applying the individual test results for each of the plurality of tests to the plurality of criteria to make a final determination of the results of the test; and

    (d) providing notification of the final determination of the results of the test.
