Résumé :
ENGLISH :
Data for this report were gathered through Mexico's Epidemiologic Surveillance System of Addictions from treatment centers, juvenile detention centers, and medical examiners in 2001. Among 9,474 patients in government treatment centers (GTCs) and 17,262 patients in nongovernment treatment centers (NGCs), cocaine was the drug most likely to be used currently (35.3 percent of GTC and 23.8 percent of NGC patients). Marijuana was the second most frequently reported current drug of abuse among GTC patients (20.4 percent), and it ranked fourth among NGC patients (11.5 percent). Heroin was reported as a current drug of abuse by 23.6 percent of NGC patients, but by only 2.8 percent of GTC patients. Approximately 90 percent of GTC and NGC patients were male, and the majority used more than one drug. Marijuana (39.6 percent) and cocaine (22.3 percent) were the most frequently used drugs among 6,688 juvenile arrestees. Medical examiners reported that alcohol was associated with 74.2 percent of drug-related deaths. (Author' s abstract)
