Drug Misuse in England and Wales
- DanBC 6y agoThis data set is for the year ending March 2020. It doesn't cover trends in drug use during covid-19 pandemic. I'm submitting it because these numbers are quite surprising: > An estimated 1 in 11 adults aged 16 to 59 years had taken a drug in the last year (9.4%; approximately 3.2 million people); this is the same as the year ending March 2019 but an increase from 8.6% in the year ending March 2010. > Around one in five adults aged 16 to 24 years had taken a drug in the last year (21%; approximately 1.3 million people); this was similar to the previous year (20.3%).
