These reports provide estimates of the prevalence of opiate and/or crack cocaine use at the Government Office Region and national level in England.  Two prevalence estimation methods have been used; the capture-recapture method and the multiple indicator method.

The UK Focal Point collates data and information on drug misuse in the UK and reports it to the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction (EMCDDA).  The Annual Report provides information on the drug situation in the UK, including a discussion of the main trends and a description of the responses to the situation.  The report follows a common European structure, covering national policies on drugs, prevalence, prevention, problem drug use, drug-related treatment, health correlates and consequences, social correlates and consequenses and drug markets.

A number of selected issues are chosen for in-depth consideration each year.  Previous topics include gender differences, drug driving, alternatives to prison and drugs in recreational settings.
