Abstract:
The National Drug Strategy 2009-2016 under the auspices of the Department
of Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs (DCRGA) reported widespread
public concern regarding the misuse of cocaine, particularly when combined
with other illegal substances, and/or alcohol (DCRGA 2009). In order to ensure
best practice in treatment services, it is essential that accurate and up to
date prevalence figures of drug use are available, that incidence is monitored
as an indicator of trends, that information is available as to what interventions
will be most effective in reducing cocaine prevalence and that the dynamics of
initiation to cocaine use are better understood.
