🕯️This Sunday marks International Overdose Awareness Day.

Over 7 500 people lost their lives to overdose in the EU in 2023 — rising to around 8 100 when Türkiye and Norway are included. Most victims were men in their late thirties or early forties and most cases involved multiple substances.

In the run-up to the day, we’ve updated our FAQs on drug drug-induced deaths in Europe. The resource highlights growing concerns around co***ne, nitazenes and polysubstance use and provides clear answers based on the latest data from 30 countries. The FAQs also include updates on treatment and harm reduction measures to reduce these premature and preventable deaths.

📌 Check out the FAQs: https://www.euda.europa.eu/publications/topic-overviews/drug-induced-deaths-faq_en
