Comment(s)

• Deviations concerning the overall figure are the result of incomplete recordings. Cases which are non-interpretable in this respect are registered under the heading "unknown".
• ¹⁾ For 1995 further narcotics deaths, which had not been included in the data recorded, were subsequently noted in Berlin. The overall nationwide tendency is not significantly influenced.
