Distribution patterns of narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances, and new psychoactive substances among reported drug users in china (2014–2026): A systematic review and Meta-Analysis
Psychotropic substances accounted for the largest proportion, underscoring the need to prioritize their prevention and control. Geographic variations highlight the importance for region-specific strategies, targeting narcotic drugs in western areas, psychotropic substances and NPS in central areas. Population-specific interventions may also be warranted, particularly for adolescents, who exhibit higher proportions of NPS use.
