Résumé :
The purpose of the Treatment Demand Indicator as a basis for data collection procedures co-ordinated by the EMCDDA is to provide comparable, reliable and anonymous information on the number and characteristics of people being treated for their drug use in the EU member states. Information on the dimensions and profile of problem drug users and their patterns of drug use (injection, multiple drug use) can be helpful in identifying patterns in the use of services, assess resource needs, and planning and evaluate services for drug users. This information also provides an indicator of trends in problem drug use and is a rich basis for more in-depth assessments of the prevalence of problematic drug use. The objective of this protocol is to define the minimal data set (the TDI core item list) which national treatment monitoring systems should be able to provide on each individual admitted to treatment. Step by step national standards will be harmonised on this basis in the coming years, leading to comparable data at a European level. This will help to improve and further develop national health systems by taking into account a broader range of experiences. (Extract of the document)
