  7. Areas for future collaboration: Epidemiology GPS (incl. school surveys) - possible methodological support for pilot survey - possible co-financing for data collection - continuous support for ESPAD, dissemination of results PDU - methodological support for further development of PDU (so far only IDU estimation is available) TDI - Increase participation of treatment centres to data collection and sharing protocol DRID - methodological support for data collection and for data analysis DRD - Support to involved institutions to improve data collection

  8. Areas for future collaboration:Policy & interventions- best practices Reitox academy in October “Monitoring and evaluation of national drug strategies” (Riga) Interest on methods for estimates of Public expenditures Prevention Dissemination of information on standards for prevention-focus on indicated and selective Harm reduction Support for monitoring interventions including in prisons; dissemination of the joint EMCDDA-ECDC guidelines on prevention of infections

  15. Looking at the bigger picture Main conclusions from 2012 EMCDDA AR: Europe has a more stable drug use situation (e.g. further signs of falling use and status of cocaine) Complex stimulant market and plethora of powders and pills (i.e. fast moving, volatile market - difficult to control), incl. new trafficking routes and record number of online shops selling ‘legal highs’ Important to improve understanding of health and social impact of emerging trends and to develop measures to reduce demand Investment in treatment and harm reduction has proved successful but still room for progress in prevention, social reintegration, prisons Recession - impact on Europe’s drug problems and responses?
