The publication of Argentina’s first National Survey on Substance Use and Care Practices marks a significant shift in how substance consumption is understood and addressed. By moving beyond traditional prevalence metrics to explore motivations, risk factors, and personal care practices, the study offers a holistic view of the phenomenon. This comprehensive approach aims to guide the design and monitoring of public policies through a human rights perspective, emphasizing social conditions and collective well-being over mere statistical counting. Crucially, these results are not directly comparable to historical data due to methodological innovations, such as including older age groups and analyzing prescription medication use. This discontinuity highlights the need for new baselines in public health analysis. The survey differentiates between therapeutic and non-therapeutic use, capturing nuances previously ignored, which allows for more accurate and sensitive policy interventions that respect individual rights and diverse consumption contexts. This work is vital for the open data community as it demonstrates how granular, high-quality public datasets can drive evidence-based social change. By making this comprehensive survey publicly accessible via INDEC, the government enables researchers and civil society to analyze trends in substance use and care practices in depth. This transparency fosters accountability and encourages the development of more effective, rights-based health strategies across jurisdictions.
