NB

Prevalence estimates for the school population are taken from national school surveys or the ESPAD project. Due to uncertainty of data collection procedures, Latvia data may not be comparable.

  1. Prevalence estimates for the general population refer to Flanders only.
  2. Prevalence estimates for the general population refer to England and Wales only.
  3. Age range for prevalence estimates in the general population: 18–64, 18–34.
  4. Age range for prevalence estimates in the general population: 16–64, 16–34.
  5. First-time and previously treated entrants are available only for two of the three data sources available in Sweden and, therefore, not comparable with data for all entrants.
