Do you use drugs? How many? How often? These are among the questions posed in the latest European Web Survey on Drugs, launched today by the EU drugs agency (EMCDDA) and Institute of Social Sciences as a national partner for Serbia. Targeted at people, aged 18 and over, who have used drugs, the survey aims to improve understanding of patterns of drug use in Europe and help shape future drug policies and interventions.
In 2016, the first European Web Survey on Drugs was launched, it ran in 16 countries and more than 80 000 people participated. In 2021, this survey will run in over 30 European countries.
The new questionnaire, which will run for six weeks, is structured in modules on: socio-demographics, drug using patterns, access to treatment, access to drugs (amounts usually bought and prices paid) and how COVID-19 pandemic has affected patterns of drug use. Its findings will contribute to the emerging knowledge base on drug using practices in Europe and on the quantities of drugs used. This will help enhance market size estimates at national and European level and contribute to drug policy development more widely.
