Notes:
Data are from the most recent national surveys available in each country (see the 2005 statistical bulletin [Table GPS-2] for lifetime prevalence and [Table GPS-4] for recent use among the 15–34 age group).
Some countries use a slightly different age range to the EMCDDA standard age range for young adults. Variations in age ranges may to a small extent account for disparities between countries.
