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 for the first half of 2001. Among 5,905 patients in government treatment centers (GTCs) and 5,536 patients in nongovernment treatment centers (NGCs), cocaine was the drug most likely to be used currently (42.6 percent of GTC and 30.5 percent of NGC patients). Marijuana was the second most frequently reported current drug of abuse among GTC patients (20.0 percent) and ranked third among NGC patients (14.9 percent). Heroin was reported as a current drug of abuse by 17.5 percent of NGC patients but only by 2.2 percent of GTC patients. Inhalants accounted for 11.7 percent of current drug reports among NGC patients. Approximately 90 percent of GTC and NGC patients were male and the majority used more than one drug. Marijuana (41.1 percent) and cocaine were the most frequently used drugs among juvenile arrestees. Medical examiners reported that alcohol was associated with 81.3 percent of drug-related deaths.
