The Characteristics of National Drug Problems

The Characteristics of National Drug Problems

The European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addcition (EMCDDA) has recently published Country Overviews

 

The EMCDDA Country Overview provide a summary of trends and characteristics of drug use on a national level.

Country overviews provide a structured synopsis of the trends and characteristics of national drug problems. They consist of a summary of the national drug situation, key statistics at a glance and a barometer showing the drug use prevalence position of each country.

EURAD welcomes the work of the EMCDDA in producing these national reports in collaboration with staff at numerous focal points across Europe.

General Secretary of EURAD, Fay Watson said: "These reports provide a useful insight into the drug issues which each country face. Whilst data relating to drugs can sometimes be imperfect and not as consistent as we would like, the reports available this year show that the quality of information continues to improve and this is encouraging".
