The estimated impact of illicit drug use and mental disorders upon population health needs to be understood because there is evidence that they produce substantial loss of life and disability, and information is needed on the comparative population health impact of different diseases and risk factors to help focus policy, service and research planning and execution.
To provide an overview of a global project, running since the end of 2007-Global Burden of Disease (GBD) 2005.
The new GBD aims to update comprehensively the findings of the first GBD exercise. It aims to provide regional and global estimates of the burden of disease attributable to hundreds of diseases, injuries and their risk factors. Groups have been assembled to provide expert advice on the parameters needed to inform these estimates; here, we provide a brief summary of the broad range of work being undertaken by the group examining illicit drug use and mental disorders.
The estimates of the contribution of mental disorders and illicit drugs to GBD will inform and potentially shape the focus of researchers, clinicians and governments in the years to come. We hope that interested readers might be encouraged to submit new data or feedback on the work completed thus far, as well as the work that is still under way and yet to be completed.
需要了解非法药物使用和精神障碍对人口健康的估计影响，因为有证据表明它们造成大量生命损失和残疾，需要了解不同疾病和风险因素对人群健康的相对影响，以帮助集中进行政策、服务和研究规划与执行。
概述自 2007 年底以来一直在进行的全球项目——全球疾病负担（GBD）2005。
新的 GBD 旨在全面更新首次 GBD 研究的结果。它旨在提供与数百种疾病、伤害及其风险因素有关的疾病负担的区域和全球估计数。已经成立了小组，就提供这些估计数所需的参数提供专家咨询意见；在这里，我们简要概述了正在检查非法药物使用和精神障碍的小组所进行的广泛工作。
精神障碍和非法药物对 GBD 的贡献估计数将为研究人员、临床医生和政府在未来几年的工作提供信息，并可能影响其工作重点。我们希望有兴趣的读者可能会受到鼓励，提交新的数据或对迄今完成的工作以及正在进行和尚未完成的工作提出反馈意见。
