Notes:

The figure presents countries that reported mean age for most years during the reported period.

For the Czech Republic, EMCDDA Selection D was used instead of the national definition. National definition includes also poisoning by psychoactive medicines, which accounts for most cases.

Information based on ‘national definitions’ as presented in the Methodological notes in the 2013 Statistical bulletin.
