Notes:
See: Drug-related deaths — methods and definitions, the EMCDDA definitions.
Absolute numbers from different countries are not directly comparable since differences remain in quality of recording methods.

(2) Data refer to the six major cities (Based on SEIT information system): Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Zaragoza, Sevilla and Bilbao. Between 1997 and 2000 data for Sevilla are not included. In 2003 and 2004 data for Zaragoza are not included.
(3) Based on information from OCRTIS.
