ISSUP is pleased to announce the launch of its new Drug Data Hub, a comprehensive online resource designed to improve access to reliable data and evidence on substance use and drug-related challenges worldwide.
Access to trusted and up-to-date information is critical for developing effective responses to substance use. However, identifying and navigating credible data sources can often be complex and time-consuming. The ISSUP Drug Data Hub addresses this challenge by bringing together key global, regional, and national data sources into one central platform, making it easier for professionals to access the information they need to inform policy, practice, and research.
The Hub features curated links to leading research organisations and evidence platforms, widely used substance use screening tools, and drug observatories and surveillance systems from around the world. By consolidating these resources, ISSUP aims to support a clearer understanding of substance use patterns and emerging trends across different contexts.
Designed for a broad audience—including policymakers, law enforcement professionals, healthcare providers, prevention practitioners, and researchers—the Drug Data Hub supports more informed, evidence-based decision-making and practice across sectors.
