a Estimates from
2001 are not comparable with estimates from previous years because of the change
in the way that
taking drugs was measured.
b 1998 survey asked
about Glue or Solvents only, Gas was added as a separate category in 1999, and
from 2000 questions
were asked about Glue, Gas, Aerosols and other solvents as one category.
c See section 1.5 for
the definition of Class A drugs.
