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. News item

The team can also provide analysis of data, submitted by coroners, for specific Drug and Alcohol Action Teams (DAATs), Primary Care Trusts (PCTs) and (Special Health Authorities) SHAs on request. A copy of an anonymised sample report can be made available. The basic elements of a special surveillance report comprise a detailed analysis of the following data-fields: gender, age-group, categories of implicated drugs, and intentionality. Information on additional fields can be supplied on request. The costs of any specially commissioned research will depend on the geographical coverage, time period involved, and the number of data items covered. Enquiries about this service please email the Programme Manager npsad@sgul.ac.uk
