When drug names are identified in DAWN’s substance related emergency department visit data, they are checked against DAWN’s drug database (Drug Reference Vocabulary). Any drug name or street name not currently listed in the database is added. This Network Watch presents drug street names that appeared in DAWN data for the first time from January 2023 to August 2024. Understanding drug slang improves communication and awareness, helps identify substance abuse, and can avoid misunderstandings of the substances involved in street drugs.
