Summary
This survey aims to better understand and analyse trends in addictive behaviours and addictions in prisons and is promoted by the Institute for Addictive Behaviours and Addictions (ICAD, I.P.), an entity under the supervision of the Ministry of Health, in collaboration with the Directorate-General for Reintegration and Prison Services (DGRSP) of the Ministry of Justice. Its objectives are: to estimate the prevalence of various addictive behaviours (illicit substances, tobacco, alcohol and gambling); to identify the type of crimes related to current imprisonment and their association with illicit substances, alcohol and gambling; to produce statistics and information comparable with that of other countries, namely within the scope of the indicators promoted by the European Union Drugs Agency (EUDA) (illicit drugs) and the WHO (alcohol); and to characterise the various types of consumers of illicit substances and alcohol and their consumption patterns: type of substances used, frequency, continuity/discontinuity of their use, forms of administration and existing types of polydrug use.Download as PDF
