Dataset Identification:

Resource Abstract:
<p>The National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) series<br /> (formerly titled National Household Survey on Drug Abuse) measures the<br /> prevalence and correlates of drug use in the United States. The<br /> surveys are designed to provide quarterly, as well as annual,<br /> estimates. Information is provided on the use of illicit drugs,<br /> alcohol, and tobacco among members of United States households aged 12<br /> and older. Questions include age at first use as well as lifetime,<br /> 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 /> covers substance abuse treatment history and perceived need for<br /> treatment, and includes questions from the Diagnostic and Statistical<br /> Manual (DSM) of Mental Disorders that allow diagnostic criteria to be<br /> applied. The survey includes questions concerning treatment for both<br /> substance abuse and mental health related disorders. Respondents are<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 /> 2002 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, gang involvement,<br /> drug use by friends, social support, extracurricular activities,<br /> exposure to substance abuse prevention and education programs, and<br /> perceived adult attitudes toward drug use and activities such as<br /> school work. Several measures focused on prevention related themes in<br /> this section. Also retained were questions on mental health and access<br /> to care, perceived risk of using drugs, perceived availability of<br /> drugs, driving and personal behavior, and cigar smoking. Questions on<br /> the tobacco brand used most often were introduced with the 1999 survey<br /> and have been retained through the 2002 survey. Demographic data<br /> include gender, race, age, ethnicity, marital status, educational<br /> level, job status, veteran status, and current household composition.This study has 1 Data Set.</p>
