National Drug
Evidence Centre
Background
• TDI – EMCDDA-Pompidou Group Protocol
– European harmonisation
– Potential for wider application
• GAP – improve global information on drug consumption
– Governments committed to measurable results demand
reduction by 2008
– Need reliable & systematic data at global level
– Assist governments in compiling comparable data
– Collect, summarise, analyse & report data to Commission
Narcotic Drugs
– INRA
• UNODC/ EMCDDA 2003 – joint initiative established
– Define workable & practical toolkit
– Harmonisation - comparative international work
National Drug
Evidence Centre
Common issues that need structured
guidance over wide area
• Definitional issues
– Treatment, cases, episodes, core data set
• Technical matters
– Quality control, double counting, data capture
• Development
– Need and purpose
• Implementation
– in context of local, national & international needs
• Analysis & dissemination
• Clarity
• Importance of being a collaborative exercise
National Drug
Evidence Centre
Global Workshop on Treatment Demand
Indicators, Vienna 2003
• Opportunity to discuss & share experiences of practicalities of
implementing Treatment Information Systems
• Explore basic rationale behind collection of such information
• Role and utility
• Strengths and limitations
– As epidemiological tool
– In performance management
• Define in broad terms the requirements of
a global toolkit

FINAL REPORT & PROPOSED OUTLINE GLOBAL TOOLKIT
FOR THE MEASUREMENT OF DRUG TREATMENT DEMAND
BACKGROUND MATERIAL FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF A TOOLKIT ON DATA COLLECTION REGARDING
DRUG TREATMENT DEMAND IN THE EUROPEAN MEMBER STATES AND IN THE ACCEDING AND
CANDIDATE COUNTRIES

Proposed Toolkit Structure
1 Introduction
1.1 Aims
1.2 Readership
1.3 Main Features & Roadmap
2 Overview: reasons for collecting drug treatment data
2.1 Why a system of treatment data collection is useful
• For epidemiological and/or performance management
• As an indirect indicator of trends in problem drug use
• For identifying patterns of drug use
• As a basis for other methodologies (eg incidence)
• For policy and advocacy
• To identify patterns of use of services
• For plans and service evaluation
• Other purposes
2.2 Limitations
