Figure DRD-2. Proportion of drug-induced deaths occurring under the age of 25 years for the most recent year reported
Notes
For Czech Republic, EMCDDA Selection D was used instead of the national definition. National definition also includes poisoning by psychoactive medicines, which accounts for most cases.
For Portugal, data include all cases with post mortem analysis positive for any drug of abuse, which is likely to produce an overestimate compared to selection D.
