Do you use drugs? How many? How often? These are among the questions posed in the latest European Web Survey on Drugs, launched on 18 March by the EU drugs agency (EMCDDA).

The voluntary, anonymous survey will run this year in 31 countries and 28 languages. As in previous years, it will be promoted nationally by the Reitox focal points and their partners, as well as through targeted social media advertisements.
