Getting to grips with substance misuse among young people. The data for 2007/08 (March 2009)
Reliable statistics on young people under 18 who receive specialist support for drug and alcohol misuse have been scarce. To address this, the National Treatment Agency (NTA) started recording data in 2005/06. This report summarises the data for 2007/08, together with information about the different types of interventions and the context in which these young people misuse substances. This is thebaseline year for reporting this data. The NTA will continue to enhance the range and quality of this data in future years, in order to obtain a better understanding of drug and alcohol misuse among young people who access specialist substance misuse services. This in turn will help the NTA improve the support available to them.
