1. Individuals are included once within each NHS Board area and council area. Therefore the sum of local area data may not equal the Scotland figure.
2. The total drugs reported is greater than the number of new individuals reporting prescribed drug use because individuals may have reported use of more than one drug.
3. A prescribed drug is defined as 'any drug which is prescribed for the treatment of drug misuse or dependence'.
4. At least one drug has been reported in the prescribed drug profile.
5. The Scotland figure includes all clients reported to the Scottish Drugs Misuse Database.
