European Network to Develop Policy Relevant Models and Socio-Economic Analyses of Drug Use, Consequences and Interventions Final report: Part 2 – Prevalence of problem drug use at the national level

The basic objective of the project work was to explore and to develop the multivariate indicator method. The method introduced by Person, Retka and Woodward (1977, 1978) and modified by Mariani (1999) estimates drug use by combining several population-standardized indicators directly...

European Network to Develop Policy Relevant Models and Socio-Economic Analyses of Drug Use, Consequences and Interventions Final report: Part 4 – Time trends and incidence of problem drug use

In the 1st 12-month period Kaplan Meyer and Cox Regression models were used to estimate the latency time between first drug use and first treatment. The group applied a Back-Calculation Model to estimate the incidence of problem drug use from the observed incidence in treatment, using the latency...

European Network to Develop Policy Relevant Models and Socio-Economic Analyses of Drug Use, Consequences and Interventions Final report: Part 5 – Pilot project to develop a model of geographic spread of drug misuse in the European Union

The groups work began by considering a computerised model of geographic spread, developed based on the observation that macro spread of drug use may behave similar to infectious diseases (using ‘infection rates’ between cities and towns). At the XV international scientific meeting of the...

European Network to Develop Policy Relevant Models and Socio-Economic Analyses of Drug Use, Consequences and Interventions Final report: Part 6 – Costs and Cost effectiveness of Interventions

The global aims of the present project concern: (1) the estimation of costs for society of problem drug use, and (2) the assessment of the cost-effectiveness of different forms of intervention using models. The main questions explored by the project are: what is the cost-of-illness related to...
