Notes: This table aims to provide an overview of national surveys. Exceptionally, some relevant regional surveys are presented. Some city surveys reported by countries were not included as they tend to produce higher prevalence estimates, which are not comparable with estimates for whole countries (or large regions with both urban and rural areas). Athens was included as a reference point for the 1993 survey. 'Data collection' means 'data collection method used in the survey': 'interview.' (face to face interview), 'phone' (telephone interview), 'mail' (mailed questionnaire), 'Multimethod' (Multi-Method - interview, mail or internet). Survey sample' refers to number of actual respondents to survey (Net sample). In some cases, national surveys cover originally a broader age range ('original age range') than that presented here for the standard groups 'All adults'(15-64) and 'Young adults' (15-34). Sample sizes are presented respectively for the 'original age range', the 'all adults' and 'young adults' groups. In surveys with small sample sizes results should be interpreted with caution. Countries were asked to report results using, as far as possible, EMCDDA standard age groups (all adults: 15 to 64, young adults: 15 to 34). In countries where age ranges are more restrictive, prevalence estimates may tend to be slightly higher. For methods and definitions on population surveys in general, see General population surveys of drug use – methods and definitions.
