Intensive multi-agency case finding is a methodology developed to make an estimation of the number and sociodemographic characteristics of known heroin users in a given community. It basically consists of collecting information from services and/or sanitary, social and penal institutions which in the course of their activities contact, or are contacted by persons who are described as heroin users. With the aim of estimating the magnitude of heroin use in Navarra, information about heroin users was requested from public treatment centers for drug-dependences, therapeutic communities, psychiatric emergencies, general hospitals, hepatitis case registry, HIV+ case registry, prisons, forensic and various social services. The study covered the whole Autonomous Community (512,512 residents) during the year of 1990. Overall 1231 persons were counted as heroin users representing a prevalence rate of 2.4 cases/1000 residents. They were mainly male (3 to 1), and a 72% of cases were aged between 20 and 29. The demographic distribution was mainly urban (3.4 to 1) and there were large differences among the different urban zones.
强化多机构病例发现是一种用于估计特定社区已知海洛因使用者数量及社会人口特征的方法。它主要包括从服务机构和/或卫生、社会及刑罚机构收集信息，这些机构在其活动过程中会接触到被描述为海洛因使用者的人，或者被这些人所接触。为了估计纳瓦拉地区海洛因使用的规模，从公立药物依赖治疗中心、治疗社区、精神科急诊、综合医院、肝炎病例登记处、HIV阳性病例登记处、监狱、法医部门及各种社会服务机构收集了有关海洛因使用者的信息。该研究涵盖了1990年整个自治区（512,512名居民）。总计有1231人被认定为海洛因使用者，患病率为2.4例/1000名居民。他们主要为男性（比例为3比1），72%的病例年龄在20至29岁之间。人口分布主要在城市（比例为3.4比1），不同城市区域之间存在很大差异。
