Age, period and cohort trends in drug abuse hospitalizations within the total Swedish population (1975-2010).

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

The societal consequences of drug abuse (DA) are severe and well documented, the World Health Organization recommending tracking of population trends for effective policy responses in treatment of DA and delivery of health care services. However, to correctly identify possible sources of DA change, one must first disentangle three different time-related influences on the need for treatment due to DA: age effects, period effects and cohort effects.
