Figure GPS-21. Trends in last 12 months prevalence of ecstasy use among young adults (aged 15–34) [see all figures in this series...]

Part (i) All countries

Notes:

Data taken from national surveys available in each country. Figures and methodology for each survey can be consulted in Table GPS-8 part ii.

For young adults, the EMCDDA uses the range 15 to 34 years (Denmark and the UK from 16 years, Germany, Estonia (1998) and Hungary from 18 years).

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.
