Notes: The information refers to the last year for which information on the deceased's characteristics was available. Number of deaths per country per year are presented in Table DRD-2 part (i). Type of definition refers to the EMCDDA standard definition; if the National definition matches with the agreed case definition established in the EMCDDA DRD Protocol: Selection B for General Mortality Registries and Selection D for Special Registries. In some countries equivalence is not total but it is, in practice, relatively similar (see Drug related deaths – methods and definitions). Figures for EMCDDA Standard definitions (Selection B and Selection D) for all countries with available information, see Table DRD-3 and Table DRD-4, and Drug related deaths – methods and definitions. (1) For Spain 2002 the data refer to age 45+. (2) For Portugal 2003 the data refer to age >19 and 45+. (3) United Kingdom: (ONS); based on standard definition of Office for National Statistics (DSD); based on definition developed for the Drug Strategy. See Drug related deaths – methods and definitions. See also 'General notes for interpreting data' on the Explanatory notes and help page. Sources: Reitox national reports 2005, taken from national mortality registries or special registries (forensic or police). Based on ‘National definitions’ as presented in Drug related deaths – methods and definitions. | |||||||||||
