Over the past 40 years the rate of illicit drug use worldwide has
risen dramatically, and with it the number of deaths reported among
drug-using populations. What are the clinical, ethical and
psychopathological implications of these deaths? In this book,
Shane Darke and his team provide the first full, synthetic review
of the epidemiology, causes, prevalence, demography, and associated
risk factors of illicit-drug-related mortality. In addition, they
examine and evaluate interventions to reduce these deaths. The
major causes of death among illicit drug users are overdose,
disease, suicide and trauma. Each is independently examined. This
is an important book for all clinicians and policy makers involved
in issues relating to illicit drug use.
