Summary of the results

Thanks to the initiative, two working meetings took place (one in Norway and one in the Czech Republic), where a critical analysis of data sources took place and a proposal for a methodology for a joint project on socio-demographic, economic and time-spatial analysis of deaths in traffic accidents related to the use of addictive substances was discussed. There was also a seminar for experts with a presentation of Czech and Norwegian data on premature mortality in traffic accidents that occurred under the influence of the use of addictive substances.
