Lancet Series 2019: Drug Use
2019
This Lancet Series examines the public health implications of the changing landscape surrounding drug use. Global drug production and consumption is increasing on a global scale, and public attitudes and laws towards substance use are also rapidly shifting. Given the changing landscape, the authors reviewed the epidemiological evidence of drug use and the related harms and interventions to address these trends. This series focuses on opioid use, cannabis, stimulants, and psychoactive substances.
Series articles include:
- Global Patterns of Opioid Use and Dependence: Harms to Populations, Interventions, and Future Action

- Responding to Global Stimulant Use: Challenges and Opportunities
- New Psychoactive Substances: Challenges for Drug Surveillance, Control, and Public Health Responses
