PROBLEM & MOTIVATION

About 275 million people worldwide, which is roughly 5.6 per cent of the global population aged 15-64 years, used drugs at least once during 2016. Some 31 million of people who use drugs suffer from drug use disorders, meaning that their drug use is harmful to the point where they may need treatment. The consequences of illicit drug use are widespread, causing permanent physical and emotional damage to users and negatively impacting their families, coworkers, and many others with whom they have contact. Our aim is that users can do better drug use prevention, treatment and care with visual analytics on the use of drug.


OBJECTIVES

In this project, we are interested to create a visualisation that helps users perform the following:

  1. View the geographical distribution of drug use in 2016
  2. Identify which drug types that people are most addicted
  3. The distribution of drug users' age groups


SELECTED DATASET

Datasets are retrieved from https://data.unodc.org/#state:1
The data set describes the annual prevalence of use of drug in 2016:

BACKGROUND SURVEY OF RELATED WORKS

There are many charts and visualisations available which illustrates the various trends of house prices and index. We have selected a few of these to study and learn before we begin developing our own visualizations.

Related Works What We Can Learn

  • Heatmap is an explicit way to show the goegraphical distribution of data.
  • The breakdowns shown upon hover give further details without distracting the audience at the first glance.
