The Treatment Episode Data Set -- Admissions (TEDS-A) is a national census data system of annual admissions to substance abuse treatment facilities. TEDS-A provides annual data on the number and characteristics of persons admitted to public and private substance abuse treatment programs that receive public funding. The unit of analysis is a treatment admission. TEDS consists of data reported to state substance abuse agencies by the treatment programs, which in turn report it to SAMHSA.

A sister data system, called the Treatment Episode Data Set -- Discharges (TEDS-D), collects data on discharges from substance abuse treatment facilities. The first year of TEDS-A data is 1992, while the first year of TEDS-D is 2006.

TEDS variables that are required to be reported are called the "Minimum Data Set (MDS)", while those that are optional are called the "Supplemental Data Set (SuDS)".

Variables in the MDS include: information on service setting, number of prior treatments, primary source of referral, gender, race, ethnicity, education, employment status, substance(s) abused, route of administration, frequency of use, age at first use, and whether methadone was prescribed in treatment. Supplemental variables include: diagnosis codes, presence of psychiatric problems, living arrangements, source of income, health insurance, expected source of payment, pregnancy and veteran status, marital status, detailed not in labor force codes, detailed criminal justice referral codes, days waiting to enter treatment, and the number of arrests in the 30 days prior to admissions (starting in 2008).

Substances abused include alcohol, cocaine and crack, marijuana and hashish, heroin, nonprescription methadone, other opiates and synthetics, PCP, other hallucinogens, methamphetamine, other amphetamines, other stimulants, benzodiazepines, other non-benzodiazepine tranquilizers, barbiturates, other non-barbiturate sedatives or hypnotics, inhalants, over-the-counter medications, and other substances.

Created variables include total number of substances reported, intravenous drug use (IDU), and flags for any mention of specific substances.This study has 1 Data Set.

The DC Metropolitan Area Drug Study (DCMADS) was

conducted in 1991, and included special analyses of homeless and

transient populations and of women delivering live births in the DC

hospitals. DCMADS was undertaken to assess the full extent of the

drug problem in one metropolitan area. The study was comprised of 16

separate studies that focused on different sub-groups, many of which

are typically not included or are underrepresented in household

surveys. The Homeless and Transient Population

study examines the prevalence of illicit drug, alcohol, and tobacco

use among members of the homeless and transient population aged 12 and

older in the Washington, DC, Metropolitan Statistical Area (DC

MSA). The sample frame included respondents from shelters, soup

kitchens and food banks, major cluster encampments, and literally

homeless people. Data from the questionnaires include history of

homelessness, living arrangements and population movement, tobacco,

drug, and alcohol use, consequences of use, treatment history, illegal

behavior and arrest, emergency room treatment and hospital stays,

physical and mental health, pregnancy, insurance, employment and

finances, and demographics. Drug specific data include age at first

use, route of administration, needle use, withdrawal symptoms,

polysubstance use, and perceived risk.This study has 1 Data Set.

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, and nonmedical use of

prescription drugs, including psychotherapeutics. Respondents were

also asked about substance abuse treatment history, illegal

activities, problems resulting from the use of drugs, 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. In

1996, the section on risk/availability of drugs was reintroduced, and

sections on driving behavior and personal behavior were

added. 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.

sections on driving behavior and personal behavior were added (see

NATIONAL HOUSEHOLD SURVEY ON DRUG ABUSE, 1996). The 1997

questionnaire continued the risk/availability section along with new

items about the use of cigars, people 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. In addition, a new series of questions

asked only of respondents aged 12 to 17 was introduced. 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.
