The Programme's principal aim is to reduce and prevent drug-related deaths in the UK due to the misuse of drugs, both licit and illicit, by collecting, analysing and disseminating information on the extent and nature of death.
An annual report is published which analyses drug-related deaths that have occurred in the preceding calendar year and comments on emerging trends. An executive summary of the annual report is also published.

The np-SAD team can provide further analysis and enhanced information about deaths for Drug Action Teams, Primary Care Trusts, Special Health Authorities and others. For further details please contact npsad@sgul.ac.uk
We are often asked about sources of information on drug deaths so we have prepared a Resource List which covers the United Kingdom (England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland), Eire, Europe, United States and bibliographic resources.
