Notes: |
|
|
(1) The age ranges 15-64 and 15-34 are the EMCDDA standards for "all adults" and "young adults". In the respective columns, the actual age ranges used in each country are presented. |
This table aims to present national surveys. Exceptionally some relevant regional surveys are presented. Some city surveys reported by countries were not included as they tend to produce higher prevalence estimates, which are not comparable with estimates. |
'Data collection' means 'data collection method used in the survey': 'interview' (face to face interview), 'phone' (telephone interview), 'mail' (mailed questionnaire), 'multimethod' (multimethod interview, mail or internet). |
'Survey sample' refers to number of respondents to the complete national surveys (Net sample). In some cases, national surveys cover originally broader age range than that presented here for 'All adults' (15-64) and 'Young adults' (15-34). |
In surveys with small sample sizes results should be interpreted with caution. |
Countries were asked to report results using, as far as possible, EMCDDA standard age groups (all adults: 15-64, young adults: 15-34). In countries where age ranges are more restrictive prevalence estimates may tend to be slightly higher. |
For methods and definitions see [Methods and definitions - Prevalence and patterns of drug use in the general population]. |
