Résumé :
Data on drug-related deaths count as one of the five epidemiological key-indicators of the EMCDDA to be implemented in the Member States of the European Union. However, figures on drug-related deaths are not directly comparable between countries due to procedural differences occurring at various steps in the chain from the death scene to the final statistics on drug-related deaths. The EMCDDA’s ultimate goal is to establish objective and reliable figures on drug-related death that are comparable between Member States. Comparability will be reached if in all Member States similar procedures will be followed. In order to set realistic goals for the coming years, priorities have been set at the endpoint of the chain of procedures by harmonising data extraction and classification from different registers. A provisional standard, coined the "DRD-Standard, version 1.0" was developed for this purpose. The current report describes the results of a field trial to test the feasibility of implementing this standard in the Member States of the European Union. The field trial was conducted in May and June 1999. [Extract of the publication]
