Résumé :
ENGLISH :
The Southern African Development Community (SADC) Regional Drug Control Programme provides for the establishment of a regional drug surveillance network (SADC Epidemiology Network on Drug Use - SENDU) in the 14 SADC member states. Between July 2001 and June 2002, three countries in addition to South Africa, namely Lesotho, Mauritius, and the Seychelles, completed their first phase of data collection. Botswana and Namibia began data collection in January 2002. This report focuses on the findings of Phase 11 of the South African Community Epidemiology Network on Drug Use (SACENDU), and brief highlights on the three countries that collected data during July-December 2001 are also presented. In summary, a much greater range of substances of abuse and a greater degree of abuse of harder drugs (such as heroin) have been observed in Mauritius and South Africa. Based on treatment and police data, substance abuse appears to be confined to alcohol and cannabis in Lesotho and the Seychelles. (Author' s abstract)
