Abstract:

The analysis presented in this paper is the first national report on non-poisoning deaths among drug users in Ireland. The data presented describe trends in non-poisoning deaths (deaths due to traumatic or medical causes) among drug users between 1998 and 2005. This paper is a companion to HRB Trends Series 4, which analysed trends in deaths by poisoning (directly drug-related deaths).
