Drug use and alcohol harm in Cumberland — modelled hidden drug use, recorded alcoholic liver disease, and drug misuse deaths.

Plain-English context

No publishable opiate and crack cocaine use estimate is available for Cumberland in the selected period. The age-standardised hospital admission rate for alcoholic liver disease was 51.4 per 100,000 in 2022/23. Admissions count episodes, not individual people. The age-standardised death rate from alcoholic liver disease before age 75 was 12.3 per 100,000 per year, averaged across 2022 to 2024. The age-standardised death rate from drug misuse was 9.1 per 100,000 per year, averaged across 2022 to 2024. Drug-use estimates and recorded alcohol harms measure different things and are not directly comparable. Missing or suppressed rates are not zero.
