Drug overdose deaths in Europe (EMCDDA 2021 Statistical Bulletin)
Description
Drug-related mortality is a complex phenomenon, which accounts for a considerable percentage of deaths among young people in many European countries. The EMCDDA, in collaboration with national experts, has defined an epidemiological indicator with two components at present: deaths directly caused by illegal drugs (drug-induced deaths) and mortality rates among problem drug users. These two components can fulfil several public health objectives, notably as an indicator of the overall health impact of drug use and the components of this impact, identify particularly risky patterns of use, and potentially identify new risks.
There are around **50 statistical tables** in this dataset. Each data table may be viewed as an HTML table or downloaded in spreadsheet (Excel format).
