Criza drogurilor în rândul tinerilor, imposibil de măsurat. Mii de cazuri apar în evidențe dar cifrele nu se leagă. Ce arată datele ABC

Romania faces a growing drug problem among youth, with thousands recorded in medical and judicial systems. The first ABC Barometer reveals 6,548 cases of patients under 25, but inconsistencies in reporting hinder accurate totals. Significant regional disparities exist, with Cluj reporting 1,751 cases compared to just nine in Dâmbovița and Vrancea. The rapid emergence of synthetic drugs complicates intervention efforts, with over 50 new substances identified in a year. The ABC Barometer highlights the need for a unified national reporting system and improved school counseling services to address prevention effectively. The focus must shift to identifying at-risk youth before they reach medical or judicial statistics.
