Resource Abstract:
- description: <p>The National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) series<br /> (formerly titled National Household
Survey on Drug Abuse) primarily<br /> measures the prevalence and correlates of drug use in the United<br /> States.
The surveys are designed to provide quarterly, as well as<br /> annual, estimates. Information is provided on the use
of illicit<br /> drugs, alcohol, and tobacco among members of United States households<br /> aged 12 and older.
Questions included age at first use as well as<br /> lifetime, annual, and past-month usage for the following drug classes:<br
/> marijuana, cocaine (and crack), hallucinogens, heroin, inhalants,<br /> alcohol, tobacco, and nonmedical use of
prescription drugs, including<br /> pain relievers, tranquilizers, stimulants, and sedatives. The survey<br />
covered substance abuse treatment history and perceived need for<br /> treatment, and included questions from the Diagnostic
and Statistical<br /> Manual (DSM) of Mental Disorders that allow diagnostic criteria to be<br /> applied. The
survey included questions concerning treatment for both<br /> substance abuse and mental health related disorders. Respondents
were<br /> also asked about personal and family income sources and amounts,<br /> health care access and coverage,
illegal activities and arrest record,<br /> problems resulting from the use of drugs, and needle-sharing.<br />
Questions introduced in previous administrations were retained in the<br /> 2006 survey, including questions asked only
of respondents aged 12 to<br /> 17. These "youth experiences" items covered a variety of topics, such<br
/> as neighborhood environment, illegal activities, drug use by friends,<br /> social support, extracurricular activities,
exposure to substance<br /> abuse prevention and education programs, and perceived adult attitudes<br /> toward
drug use and activities such as school work. Several measures<br /> focused on prevention-related themes in this section.
Also retained<br /> were questions on mental health and access to care, perceived risk of<br /> using drugs, perceived
availability of drugs, driving and personal<br /> behavior, and cigar smoking. Questions on the tobacco brand used most<br
/> often were introduced with the 1999 survey. Background information<br /> includes gender, race, age, ethnicity,
marital status, educational<br /> level, job status, veteran status, and current household composition.This study has
