Methods and tools to monitor the drug situation
Assessing the many facets of the drug situation in Europe is a challenging task and a wide variety of methods and tools are employed by the EMCDDA in order to do this. Existing tools are being continously refined and improved, and new tools are developed as needs arise. The links below point to the main resources on the EMCDDA website which present methodological information. It should be noted that the categorisation used below is somewhat artificial as there is in fact some overlap between categories.
