E-DRUG: Medicines in Youth
-------------------------------------------

Dear All

I am interested in knowing following things, as every country has 
statistics. What is known about your country? 

1. Statistics of medicine prescription in your country?
Statistics of medicines consumption?

2. Do you have "problem medicines" in your country, when it comes to 
young people (12-24)? Problem medicines means misuse medicines and 
medicines which are prescribed by doctor even it is risk for youth.

3. Also what is the most important to do in the area of youth and 
medicines in your country?

If you have answer to any of the above question or any clue about 
this please let me know. 

Many thanks

Best Regards,
