English: :Number of deaths from substance use disorders
Substance use disorders refers to direct deaths from drug overdoses. This is distinguished from substance use as risk factor for premature death, which results when alcohol or drug use increases the likelihood of the development of disease or injury.
Substances shown in red are collectively termed 'Illicit drug use' in addition to cannabis, which is not shown here since it is not attributed to direct deaths from usage.
