Infographic: percentage of syringes by detected drug group, by city, ESCAPE 2017

This graphic is extracted from Drugs in syringes from six European cities: results from the ESCAPE project 2017. This report presents the results of an innovative method for gathering information on the substances used by people who inject drugs. In this pilot study, chemical analysis of the contents of used syringes collected from exchange sites reveals the drugs and drug combinations injected in the six participating European cities. This approach can provide local and timely information that can be used for city-level monitoring and interventions.
