Notes:

: Indicates no data available

Drug specific percentages are of clients whose primary drug and usual route of administration is known. Total 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.

(1) In Belgium if the exact primary drug is not known, the generic category is recorded. In 2010 there were 294 Opiates, 8 Cocaine, 7 Stimulants, 3 Hypnotics and Sedatives and 1 Hallucinogens clients with the primary exact drug unknown. Of which 27, 1 and 5 were new clients for respectively Opiates, Cocaine and Stimulants.

(2) Data on amphetamines refer to stimulants in general. Data on route of administration refer to primary and non primary drugs.

(3) In 2010 around 29% of all clients and 30% of new clients were registered as not known / missing for the primary drug category. Caution should be made when comparing data over time.

(4) In 2010 Latvia submitted a new dataset with a more precise TDI EMCDDA definition. Caution should be made when comparing data with previous years.

(5) Heroin includes both heroin and so called "kompot" (heroin gained from the poppy straws). Category amphetamines includes both amphetamine and methamphetamine. Rates are based on data from TDI pilot project.

(6) In 2010 came into implementation a new national information system implying methodological changes particularly in the registration criteria.

(7) Data are from 1st of April 2009 to 31st March 2010.

(8) In Norway the criteria for selecting and grouping cases are main ICD-10 diagnosis codes F11-F16 and F18-F19.
