Resource Abstract:
- description: <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
included 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 />
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 /> 2004 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 and retained through the<br /> 2003 survey. Background information
includes gender, race, age,<br /> ethnicity, marital status, educational level, job status, veteran<br /> status,
and current household composition. In addition, in 2004 Adult and Adolescent Mental Health modules were added.This study has
