Therefore the sum of local area data may not equal the Scotland figure. 3 The total drugs reported is greater than the number of new individuals reporting illicit drug use because individuals may have reported use of more than one drug. 4 An illicit drug is any drug that has not been prescribed for the user. This includes illegal drugs, volatile substances, inappropriate use of over the counter medicines and alcohol. 5 At least one drug has been reported in the illicit drug profile. z Not shown where the number of new clients < 40 and the number of clients using a specified drug < 5.
