Resource Abstract:
- description: <p>The National Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA) series<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 include 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 /> psychotherapeutics. Respondents were
also asked about personal and<br /> family income sources and amounts, substance abuse treatment history,<br />
illegal activities, problems resulting from the use of drugs, need for<br /> treatment for drug or alcohol use, criminal
record, and<br /> needle-sharing. Questions on mental health and access to care, which<br /> were introduced in
the 1994-B questionnaire (see NATIONAL HOUSEHOLD<br /> SURVEY ON DRUG ABUSE, 1994), were retained in this<br />
administration of the survey. Also retained was the section on<br /> risk/availability of drugs that was reintroduced
in 1996, and sections<br /> on driving behavior and personal behavior were added (see NATIONAL<br /> HOUSEHOLD
SURVEY ON DRUG ABUSE, 1996). The 1997<br /> questionnaire (NATIONAL HOUSEHOLD SURVEY ON DRUG ABUSE, 1997) introduced
new items that the 1998 NHSDA continued on cigar<br /> smoking, people who were present when respondents used marijuana
or<br /> cocaine for the first time (if applicable), reasons for using these<br /> two drugs the first time, reasons
for using these two drugs in the<br /> past year, reasons for discontinuing use of these two drugs (for<br />
lifetime but not past-year users), and reasons respondents never used<br /> these two drugs. Both the 1997 and 1998
NHSDAs had a series of<br /> questions that were asked only of respondents aged 12 to 17. These<br /> items covered
a variety of topics that may be associated with<br /> substance use and related behaviors, such as exposure to substance<br
/> abuse prevention and education programs, gang involvement,<br /> relationship with parents, and substance use
by friends. Demographic<br /> data include gender, race, age, ethnicity, marital status, educational<br /> level,
job status, income level, veteran status, and current household<br /> composition.This study has 1 Data Set.</p>;
