The National Drug Evidence Centre (NDEC)^[1] is part of the University of Manchester Faculty of Medical and Human Sciences, located on Oxford Road in Manchester.

Overview

NDEC carries out epidemiological, evaluative and policy related research in the field of substance misuse working within the Health Service and Criminal Justice Systems at local, national and European levels. NDEC has strong collaborative links with the European Monitoring Centre on Drugs and Drug Addiction in Lisbon, IFT Germany and IVV Holland. In the UK, the work of the Centre is intrinsically linked to the Department of Health, Home Office and National Treatment Agency (NTA).

NDEC is responsible for analyses and reporting of national government statistics on drug/ alcohol misuse treatment, delivered through a National Statistics hub^[2] and is developing a National Data Library for use by policy makers, clinical services and researchers.

The Visualisation Group within NDEC is developing ViewIt-a web visualisation tool with content management and data extraction functions that allow investigation and contextualisation of any dataset in tabular, graphical and map based formats.^[3]

History

NDEC began in The University of Manchester in 1987. Formerly called Drug Misuse Research Unit, it "has developed into an academic research and information centre concerned with understanding the extent and nature of drug/ alcohol problems in communities in the context of public health, alongside evaluation of risk prevention and intervention responses, and has been responsible for the introduction and development of information systems now in use across the whole of the UK and Europe," according to its official website.^[4]
