Abstract

The World Drug Report is an annual publication produced by the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) that provides information on global activity related to drug use, health, drug supply, and market analyses of opiates, cocaine, cannabis, and synthetic drugs. The report underscores drug activity as a public health and social issue that requires therapeutic intervention and treatment. The current World Drug Report estimates that over 29 million people worldwide who use drugs have a substance use disorder. In particular, women are more likely than men to engage in the nonmedical use of opioids and tranquilizers.
