This series 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 include 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, anabolic steroids, nonmedical use
of prescription drugs including psychotherapeutics, and polysubstance
use. Respondents were also asked about substance abuse treatment
history, illegal activities, problems resulting from use of drugs,
perceptions of the risks involved, personal and family income sources
and amounts, need for treatment for drug or alcohol use, criminal
record, and needle-sharing. Questions on mental health and access to
care, which were introduced in the 1994-B questionnaire (see NATIONAL
HOUSEHOLD SURVEY ON DRUG ABUSE, 1994), were retained in
this administration of the survey. Demographic data include gender,
race, age, ethnicity, marital status, motor vehicle use, educational
level, job status, income level, veteran status, and past and current
household composition.This study has 1 Data Set.
The National Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA) series
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 include 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
psychotherapeutics. Respondents were also asked about personal and
family income sources and amounts, substance abuse treatment history,
illegal activities, problems resulting from the use of drugs, need for
treatment for drug or alcohol use, criminal record, and
needle-sharing. Questions on mental health and access to care, which
were introduced in the 1994-B questionnaire (see NATIONAL HOUSEHOLD
SURVEY ON DRUG ABUSE, 1994), were retained in this
administration of the survey. Also retained was the section on
risk/availability of drugs that was reintroduced in 1996, and sections
on driving behavior and personal behavior were added (see NATIONAL
HOUSEHOLD SURVEY ON DRUG ABUSE, 1996). The 1997
questionnaire (NATIONAL HOUSEHOLD SURVEY ON DRUG ABUSE, 1997) introduced new items that the 1998 NHSDA continued on cigar
smoking, people who were present when respondents used marijuana or
cocaine for the first time (if applicable), reasons for using these
two drugs the first time, reasons for using these two drugs in the
past year, reasons for discontinuing use of these two drugs (for
lifetime but not past-year users), and reasons respondents never used
these two drugs. Both the 1997 and 1998 NHSDAs had a series of
questions that were asked only of respondents aged 12 to 17. These
items covered a variety of topics that may be associated with
substance use and related behaviors, such as exposure to substance
abuse prevention and education programs, gang involvement,
relationship with parents, and substance use by friends. Demographic
data include gender, race, age, ethnicity, marital status, educational
level, job status, income level, veteran status, and current household
composition.This study has 1 Data Set.
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 2014 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.
