Monitoring drug use in recreational settings across Europe: conceptual challenges and methodological innovations
EMCDDA. European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction
This report explores how data on drug use are captured through surveys of targeted populations in recreational settings. The benefits and challenges of monitoring drug use in recreational settings are identified, as are emergent data sources and methodological innovations. The report draws on cutting-edge debates within social research, sociology and critical drug studies to encourage dialogue between researchers and with monitoring agencies.
The European Commission is preparing a third phase of this programme, therefore COPOLAD will be back at the beginning of 2021.
