Resource Abstract:
- description: <p>The National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) series (formerly titled National Household Survey
on Drug Abuse) primarily measures the prevalence and correlates of drug use in the United States. The surveys are designed
to provide quarterly, as well as annual, estimates. Information is provided on the use of illicit drugs, alcohol, and tobacco
among members of United States households aged 12 and older. Questions included age at first use as well as lifetime, annual,
and past-month usage for the following drug classes: marijuana, cocaine (and crack), hallucinogens, heroin, inhalants, alcohol,
tobacco, and nonmedical use of prescription drugs, including pain relievers, tranquilizers, stimulants, and sedatives. The
survey covered substance abuse treatment history and perceived need for treatment, and included questions from the Diagnostic
and Statistical Manual (DSM) of Mental Disorders that allow diagnostic criteria to be applied. The survey included questions
concerning treatment for both substance abuse and mental health-related disorders. Respondents were also asked about personal
and family income sources and amounts, health care access and coverage, illegal activities and arrest record, problems resulting
from the use of drugs, and needle-sharing. Questions introduced in previous administrations were retained in the 2013 survey,
including questions asked only of respondents aged 12 to 17. These "youth experiences" items covered a variety of
topics, such as neighborhood environment, illegal activities, drug use by friends, social support, extracurricular activities,
exposure to substance abuse prevention and education programs, and perceived adult attitudes toward drug use and activities
such as school work. Several measures focused on prevention-related themes in this section. Also retained were questions on
mental health and access to care, perceived risk of using drugs, perceived availability of drugs, driving and personal behavior,
and cigar smoking. Questions on the tobacco brand used most often were introduced with the 1999 survey. For the 2008 survey,
adult mental health questions were added to measure symptoms of psychological distress in the worst period of distress that
a person experienced in the past 30 days and suicidal ideation. In 2008, a split-sample design also was included to administer
separate sets of questions (WHODAS vs. SDS) to assess impairment due to mental health problems. Beginning with the 2009 NSDUH,
however, all of the adults in the sample received only the WHODAS questions. Background information includes gender, race,
age, ethnicity, marital status, educational level, job status, veteran status, and current household composition.This study
has 1 Data Set.</p>; abstract: <p>The National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) series (formerly titled National
