Abstract

In 2020 Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) commissioned SUAB to adapt and develop the city of Manchester’s Emerging Drug Trends Monitoring System (MESUS) to monitor emerging substance use trends across all ten local authority areas of Greater Manchester. This new Greater Manchester wide system has been named GM TRENDS (Greater Manchester: Testing and Research on Emergent and New Drugs). This report is the findings from the second GM TRENDS monitoring cycle and covers all of Greater Manchester - with a number of participating professionals working across the 10 geographical areas.
