Popis:	Drug use amongst Black and minority ethnic groups in the European Union (EU) is an under-researched and under-reported issue. To begin to build a knowledge base, questionnaires based on available information were constructed for each of the 15 EU countries and Norway. Potential informants were identified from a range of disciplines, not necessarily concerned with drug use. A total of 1,122 questionnaires were distributed and the response rate was 1 in 3.5 (322), a quarter of whom (26%/83) either could not or would not participate. Several challenges confront progress, including the reluctance of potential informants to provide data on this sensitive issue, inadequate ethnic monitoring, and the development of links between researchers and Black and minority ethnic groups.
