*   Reference population refers to the population aged 15-64 sourced from the United Nations, Department of Economic and Social Affairs, World Population Prospects 2015 Revision, or the reference population as specified in the ARQ for sub-populations.

 ** Unless an age breakdown of drug-related deaths is available, rate is calculated using the reported total number of drug-related deaths, based on the assumption that drug-related deaths occur mainly within the 15-64 age bracket.
