Description:... Large cities are confronted with a wide range of drug-related problems, and many new trends in drug consumption appear first in urban contexts. This study aims to monitor and interpret trends and developments in drug misuse across a network of forty-two major cities in twenty-four European countries. The report covers the period 1991-98, and uses a set of standardised epidemiological indicators covering prevalence, treatment, health, drug law offences and the drug market. It also includes an analysis of trends in eastern and western European cities.
