Assistance to EMCDDA for the analysis of drug profiles from EMCDDA databank on surveys of drug use

This is the final report of the EMCDDA project the 'European databank on population surveys on drugs,' which consisted of a voluntary compilation of original databases of existing surveys and their results. The aim of the project was to re-approach data already analysed in the national context from different perspectives to help to improve understanding of issues such as drug prevalence and risks factors, and also to enhance the comparability of data. This report analyses a range of issue including gender differences, polysubstance use, and predictors of drug use initiation.
