Notes
- The United Kingdom left the REITOX network on 31 December 2020 following Brexit. Its equivalent body is Public Health England / Office for Health Improvements and Disparities.
- Switzerland, though not an EU member, coordinates through its own agency: Federal Office of Public Health — Addiction and Drugs Division, Bern.
- All 29 REITOX members feed national data into the EUDA’s annual European Drug Report, which is the continent’s definitive annual surveillance document on drug and alcohol trends.
