There has been a deterioration in the number of 15 year olds offered drugs, notably in relation to ecstasy (6% 2013; 14% 2015). According to residents perceptions, Aberdeenshire continues to be assessed as a community relatively untroubled by rowdy behaviour and drug misuse. Whilst Aberdeenshire compares favourably with alcohol and drug related death rates across most of the rest of Scotland, our alcohol related death rate has been steadily increasing since 2010 whilst the national situation and most other ADPs have improved. Since 2010 our ARD rate has nearly doubled whilst 2
