Re @brenn_i_himmeln The data for the graphic is here: https://www.emcdda.europa.eu/publications/european-drug-report/2023/drug-induced-deaths_en#table7

Re @brenn_i_himmeln Hi again. That exact table (mortality 15-64 per million people) will be made available shorty. It is based on data in the Statistical bulletin (Trends > National Definition > Number of deaths > Total, with subtractions made using the age band tables): https://www.emcdda.europa.eu/data/stats2023/drd_en 1/2 https://t.co/N3uzp4WHdQ

Re @brenn_i_himmeln Cases per million are then calculated using Eurostat demographic data. We hope that is helpful for now until the table is published (should be early next week).
