UNODC collects analyzes and reports data on extent, patterns and trends in drug use and its health consequences through the
Annual Reports Questionnaires (ARQ) submitted by Member States. UNODC also supports Member States in developing capacity to design and implement methodologically sound surveys and assessment of drug use, as well as implement integrated drug information systems.

It is estimated that a total of 246 million people, or 1 out of 20 people between the ages of 15 and 64 years, used an illicit drug in 2013. That represents an increase of 3 million over the previous year but, because of the increase in the global population, illicit drug use has in fact remained stable.
