Résumé :
This bulletin summarizes key findings from the Emerging Threats Project: New Psychoactive Substances (NPS), Heroin, Fentanyl, and Other Opioids. The objective of this project was to identify how opioids and other emerging drugs are impacting in Latin American countries. Due to the concern caused by the opioid epidemic, which has become a public health crisis in Canada and the United States, at the end of 2018 the Inter-American Observatory on Drugs (OID, by its Spanish acronym) of the Inter-American Drug Abuse Control Commission (CICAD, by its Spanish acronym) of the Organization of American States (OAS), called on Member States to present research projects to investigate the problem of opioids in Latin America. By the beginning of 2019, five countries responded to this call: Argentina, Mexico, Peru, the Dominican Republic, and Uruguay.
