Drug dependence in Mekran-Panjgur revisited.

چکیده
Through epidemiological method, prevalence of drug dependence in the four villages of Panjgur is estimated to be 3.37% of the population.. Cannabis was found to be abused by 1.13%, opium 0.5% and heroin 0.64%. The difference between the estimates of heroin abuse made earlier through information from patients and the current survey is more than five times. It is suggested that currently used estimates may be reviewed critically (JPMA 35: I0,(1985).
