文摘

Online availability and diffusion of New Psychoactive Substances (NPS) represents an emerging threat to healthcare systems. In this work, we analyse drugs forums, online shops, and Twitter. By mining the data from these sources, it is possible to understand the dynamics of drug diffusion and its endorsement, as well as timely detect new substances. We propose a set of visual analytics tools to support analysts in tackling NPS spreading and provide a better insight about drugs market and analysis.
