2.4 million young adults in Europe used MDMA in the last year. 💊
That’s 2.4% of 15–34-year-olds.
Among 15–24s, around 1 million used MDMA.
What more does the latest data tell us?

Around 7 in 10 fatal overdoses in the EU involve opioids.
What happens if the next generation of synthetic opioids spreads?
Our latest threat assessment explores two plausible scenarios, and what Europe can do now to detect and respond faster.

Eli Lilly is acquiring AtaiBeckley & their 5-MeO-DMT research. There's big money in psychedelic medicines. People should have access to medicines, but I'm disappointed in non-profit work & donations being sold into Mega Pharma control.

2.5 million.
That's how many young Europeans used cocaine last year.
After cannabis, cocaine remains the most commonly used illicit drug in Europe. And in several countries, recent surveys point to rising use among young adults.

What happens when structured #interRAI data meets AI?
Recent webinars explored two very different possibilities:
→ AI-powered prognostic modelling through I-CARE4OLD 🎥 lnkd.in/gz2-9rER lnkd.in/gz2-9rER
→ AI-generated clinician & client summaries
🎥 lnkd.in/gifeFbCn
Another recent presentation explored using AI to generate clinician and client summaries — 🎥demonstrating a very different application of AI.
AI isn't only about prediction. It can also help turn data into usable information.
