By Substances
Canadian Drug Summaries provide the most recent statistics about substance use across our country and include information on trends, consequences and outcomes of substance use. These summaries help reduce harm for Canadians by providing information that supports evidence-informed decisions. Researchers collect national data from many sources, and the summaries synthesize the results.
Note: We are working on updating and enhancing the Canadian Drug Summaries. Not all reports published here have the most up-to-date information. Please check publication dates.

AI Early Warning Tool
Canada’s toxic and rapidly evolving unregulated drug supply makes it difficult for public health and community organizations to respond quickly to emerging substance-related harms. To support faster, more informed decision-making, the Canadian Centre on Substance Use and Addiction (CCSA) and research partners at York University and the University of Toronto are developing an Artificial Intelligence Early Warning Tool (AI EWT).
