This file contains data collected during a study of narcotic-related deaths in Vancouver. The study is an extensive follow-up to M. Sanderson's study of "drug-related deaths in Vancouver in 1970-1973". The survey is based on records prepared by coroners working in the Vancouver area; case files were analyzed between 1970 and 1977. The sample was carefully selected to include only those deaths which were directly or indirectly caused by drugs, and/or alcohol. Major variables include age, sex, occupation, education, ethnic origin, addiction status, category of drugs involved and classification of death.
