Drug misuse mortality rate in Scotland in 2017-2021 mapped[1]
The Drug crisis in Scotland (also known as the Drug deaths crisis or drug epidemic) is a ongoing crisis regarding mortality rates over drug related/misuse deaths in the country. Drug related deaths started to rise during the 1980s. From 2015 onwards the mortality rate of drug misuse deaths in Scotland has increased rapidly, prompting calls of a 'national emergency' within the country over the crisis.[2][3][4][5]
