ENGLISH : Aims : We discuss the Addicts Index (AI) and examine whether the epidemiological trends of the AI can be continued by the regional drug misuse databases (DMDs, now known as National Drug Treatment Monitoring System (NDTMS). Methods : (i) Matching individuals recorded as addicted to opiates and/or cocaine in the A1 with those reported to the North Thames Drug Misuse Database (NT-DMD) 1992-1996 ; (ii) comparison of trends over time.
