(e) Overall, there is a lack of standardized treatment data data based on harmonized methods and concepts.

Secondly, the drug abuser population covered by treatment demand data is dependent on the availability and accessibility of treatment services in different countries.

For many countries, some of the data are based on treatment admissions some countries have national registries of people undergoing treatment for drug abuse.

In many regions, data on demand for drug abuse treatment are the main type of data that are routinely available on drug abuse.

The actual number of people in need of such treatment has been estimated to be as much as seven times higher than that shown in treatment data.

The variety of treatment systems, as well as the differing methods of organizing and financing also influence the availability and quality of treatment demand data and frequency of reporting.

In Sub Saharan Africa, the treatment data collection and reporting systems are mostly lacking, and the availability of treatment and rehabilitation services in general is lower than in the other regions.

A methodological toolkit on drug abuse data collection will be completed before the end of 2005 and an extra module of the toolkit on treatment data collection is being developed.

With regard to international comparisons, it should be noted that not all countries have individual treatment data and, where standard instruments exist, not all countries collect the full data set.

It included health care delivery, diagnosis, consultation, treatment, communication of data and education of both the doctor and the patient.

The most representative treatment data are reported through the Southern African Development Community (SADC) Epidemiology Network on Drug Use (SENDU).

Telemedicine, i.e. the provision of medical care using interactive audio, visual and data communication, includes medical care delivery, consultations, diagnosis and treatment, as well as education and the transfer of medical data.

We need to have all of the data on a particular treatment to know whether or not it really is effective.

In considering the strengths of treatment demand data and their potential uses, it is also important to recognize their inherent limitations.

In the Near and Middle East, only a few countries have collected and reported treatment data in a standard, systematic manner.

In Latin America and the Caribbean, the proportion of females in treatment for drug problems was, on average, 12 per cent in 2003, although less than half of the countries in the region have treatment data that include the gender of those receiving such treatment.

Ever since 1997 there has been an analysis of the cohort of treatment results, and this means that there are comparable data

An observer referred to the need for increased regional cooperation in prevention, treatment, applying research methodologies and achieving comparability of epidemiological data.

The Task Force reinforced its position in a second joint paper to IMF in June 2005, highlighting important implications of a changed treatment of goods for processing on both data collection and data analysis.

Recent data indicates that none of the complaints submitted regarding medical treatment and medical para medical personnel is related to discrimination against women.

There are gaps in knowledge with regard to certain items such as the number of estimated daily abusers, treatment data and registered deaths.

Palestinian refugees enjoyed special treatment within UNRWA like no other group. Yet statistical data showed that their situation had not improved as a result.

While conditions generally do not change very often, Member States are requested to answer questions regarding data collection, prevention, treatment and rehabilitation every year.

Rehabilitation measures for child victims of ill treatment and abuse are lacking, as are comprehensive information and data on the different manifestations of violence against children, thereby leading to limited awareness of the ill treatment and abuse of children.

The perceived benefits of the new system are (a) inter agency standards on all details of data processing (b) harmonization of published international trade statistics (c) higher level of data quality (d) full accountability in the treatment of trade data and (e) availability of a complete set of metadata.

If necessary, the data should enable the relevant institutions to monitor and assess whether the principle of equal treatment is complied with in employment relations.

Firstly, because of the time lag between the first use of illicit drugs and the first need for treatment (often amounting to several years), treatment demand data cannot serve as an indicator for the most recent developments in drug abuse.

(k) The absence of data on complaints of torture and ill treatment, and the results of investigations or prosecutions related to the provisions of the Convention

In Sub Saharan Africa, as in many other regions, the lack of standardized, routinely collected treatment data impedes efforts to monitor trends in illicit drug use.

Treatment demand data are important in assessing the extent and nature of the abuse of illicit drugs. They serve both as a direct measure of the demand for treatment services and an indirect measure for assessing drug abuse trends using prevalence estimation techniques.

Systems to record and monitor the access to treatment and prevention services by women, girls, children and vulnerable populations, including through sex disaggregated data, should be strengthened.

Citing UNDP and UNFPA efforts to integrate prevention into treatment delivery, one delegation requested more details on sex disaggregated data and partnerships with women's and girls' organizations.

Figures V IX are based on the latest data on treatment demand as reported by States through the annual reports questionnaire during the reporting years 2001 2003.

Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, Alcohol and Other Drug Treatment Services in Australia 2001 02 Report on the National Minimum Data Set, HSE 28 (Canberra, 2003).

There is a growing awareness of the importance of drug related issues to public health and the related need for more effective data collection, treatment and rehabilitation.

National data Regional data Provincial data

Many countries collect data on the activities and characteristics of drug treatment services and their clients in order to inform planning and develop policy in the area of drug demand reduction, although the concept and the modalities of drug treatment may vary between countries.

Such data exclude those drug abusers who are not reported by treatment facilities, those who are admitted to facilities but do not participate in the reporting system, those not admitted to any treatment facility and those who have not yet experienced drug abuse problems.

It also notes with concern the lack of available data on ill treatment of children, including corporal punishment, beating and depriving children of their liberty as a punishment.

You can see before treatment and after treatment.
