Distribution and cost of legal and illegal drugs in Croatia

This paper will presents some of the results of the pilot project "Distribution and prices of legal and illegal drugs in Croatia (DCID2)". The aim of the project was to examine the availability and price of legal and illegal drugs on the Croatian territory in 2012. , and also to examine the incidence of new psychoactive substances in the Republic of Croatia and their availability, retail price, and the reasons for their consumption. The project was conducted in cooperation with non-governmental organizations providing harm reduction programs in major urban areas in Croatia, and funded by the Office for Combating Narcotic Drug Abuse of the Government of the Republic of Croatia. This project was designed as a follow up study of the similar project conducted in 2011. The main aims of the previous and this project were the establishment of a long-term model of gathering information on the prices and distribution of legal and illegal drugs in Croatia. Because of the valuble data obtained by the previous research, in this project we modified the questionnaire by adding some additional questions in order to receive more quality data. Since the project involved interviewing a hard-to-reach drug population, specific attention was payed to the quality of data which will be used in future Croatian national drug prevention strategies.
