Notes:

Methods of estimation are abbreviated: CR=Capture-recapture; TM =Treatment multiplier; PM = Police multiplier; MI = Multivariate indicator; TP= Truncated Poisson; CM = Combined methods; MM= Mortality multiplier; OT= Other methods.

The symbol indicates a point estimate, a bar indicates an uncertainty interval, which can be either a 95 % confidence interval or an interval based on sensitivity analysis (see https://www.emcdda.europa.eu/stats12/pdutab102b.

Target groups may vary slightly owing to different methods and data sources; therefore comparisons should be made with caution.

In the case of Portugal the interval represents the highest and lowest bounds of all existing estimates, and the point estimate a simple average of all data points.

In case of Germany the central estimate was not available; a midpoint was calculated as a simple average of the Low and High estimate.

1 - Belgium = The target population is ever IDU.
