Figure GPS-13. Last 12 months prevalence of cocaine use among all young adults (aged 15 to 34) by gender

Notes:

Data are from the most recent national surveys available in each country (see Table GPS-8 part (ii)).

Some countries use a slightly different age range to the EMCDDA standard age range for young adults. Variations in age ranges may slightly influence disparities between countries.

The most recent General population surveys reported by the Czech Republic display a wide variation in results, the reason for which is being explored, but may be due to differing sampling methods.  The data is provided for information, but given the lack of comparability between surveys should be treated with caution.
