In this brochure, the EMCDDA's Scientific Director takes us on a journey through 25 years of annual reporting on the drugs problem in Europe.

The journey begins with the first report describing the drug situation in 1995 and leads us, over key milestones, to the latest European Drug Report 2020.

Looking back on a quarter of a century of annual reporting, two things stand out: first, Europe's drugs problem has evolved considerably over this period; and second, this evolution has been accompanied by a dramatic increase in the quantity and quality of the information available on the topic.

Abstract

Background Standardised packaging for factory-made cigarettes (FM) and roll-your-own tobacco (RYO), and a minimum excise tax (MET) were fully implemented in the UK in May 2017 following a 12-month transition period. This paper is the first to examine effects on tobacco sales volumes and company revenues.

Methods Analysis of UK commercial supermarket and convenience store electronic point of sale data on tobacco sales. FM and RYO products' data (May 2015–April 2018) yielded 107 572 monthly observations. Expected values from additive mixed modelling were used to calculate...

В марте 2012 года был принят Закон о здравоохранении и социальном обеспечении (HSCA), в результате чего ответственность за ввод в эксплуатацию специализированной службы по борьбе с наркотиками и алкоголем перешла от Национальной службы здравоохранения (NHS) к местным властям в Англии.

Этот сдвиг был разработан для того, чтобы обеспечить большую гибкость и свободу реагирования на местные потребности.

В этой статье исследователи из Королевского колледжа Лондона оценивают взаимосвязь между госпитализацией, связанной с алкоголем, предоставлением специализированного лечения алкоголизма и...

In February 2019, the UK government appointed Professor Dame Carol Black to undertake an independent review of drugs.

The aim of the review was to inform the government’s thinking on what more can be done to tackle the harm that drugs cause.
