Résumé :
This statistical bulletin considers the extent of illicit drug use among 16 to 59 year olds in England and Wales in 2004/05 and trends in drug use since 1998, which marked the beginning of the Governments Drug Strategy, based on data from the British Crime Survey. It particularly focuses on young people. These data are used for monitoring the Public Service Agreement (PSA) target to reduce drug use amongst young people that is shared between the Home Office and the Department for Education and Skills. It also looks at demographic and geographical variations in drug use. The report shows that among young people, aged 16 to 24 years old, use of Any drug decreased and Class A drug use remained stable since 1998. For the 16 to 59 year old age group, between 1998 and 2004/05 the use of Any drug remained stable and Class A drug use increased. This increase in Class A drug use was mainly due to a comparatively large increase in cocaine use between 1998 and 2000. However from 2000 to 2004/05 the use of Class A drugs overall and cocaine in particular remained stable. Cocaine use amongst 16 to 59 year olds decreased between 2003/04 and 2004/05. Cannabis use amongst this age group also decreased from 2003/04 to 2004/05, contributing to a fall in overall use of Any drug since 2003/04. (Author' s abstract)
