Notes:

 Drug specific percentages are of clients whose primary drug and usual route of administration is known. Total injecting considers all the injection cases regardless of the primary drug being known or not. 

 Injecting as a route of administration is not reported for ecstasy, cannabis and other drugs. 

 When proportion of clients by main drug is 0, ‘% of injectors’ is blank. If no data is available, the symbol ":" is used.
