What each column does and doesn't cover

Every case states When (date) and Where (state) — 730 of 730. Beyond that, a blank cell means the source record does not state that fact, not that it did not happen:

  • Setting: stated in 649 of 730 cases (89%)
  • Drug: stated in 657 of 730 cases (90%)
  • Method: stated in 474 of 730 cases (65%)
  • Prosecution status: stated in 474 of 730 cases (65%); a documented penalty (fine, settlement, or restitution) exists for 77 of 730 cases (11%)
  • Role: stated in only 255 of 730 cases (35%) — filtering or sorting by role silently hides the rest of the registry, which may still describe the same role in prose without a structured field
