EMCDDA, Your Reference Point on Drugs in Europe
The European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction
(EMCDDA) was established in 1993. Inaugurated in Lisbon in 1995, it is one of
the EU’s decentralised agencies. The EMCDDA exists to provide the EU and its
Member States with a factual overview of European drug problems and a solid
evidence base to support the drugs debate. Today it offers policymakers the
data they need for drawing up informed drug laws and strategies. It also helps
professionals and practitioners working in the field pinpoint best practice and
new areas of research.

In 2015, the number of drug-induced deaths reported from a
special register maintained by the Health Research Board remained stable at
224, compared with 223 deaths reported in 2014. The majority of those who died
were male and in their late 30s. The mean age of victims in 2015 was 39 years,
the highest ever recorded, mainly due to the increase in deaths among those
aged 55 years or older compared with 2014.
Opioids were the drugs most commonly associated with
drug-induced deaths, although they were frequently found together with other
psychoactive substances, such as alcohol and prescription medicines.
The drug-induced mortality rate among adults (aged 15-64 years)
was 69 deaths per million in 2015. ABOUT
395.
