This file includes data from the 2002 through 2011 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) survey. The only variables included in the data file are ones that were collected in a comparable manner across all ten years of data.

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. 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. Certain questions are 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. Also included are questions on mental health and access to care, perceived risk of using drugs, perceived availability of drugs, driving and personal behavior, and cigar smoking. Demographic information includes gender, race, age, ethnicity, marital status, educational level, job status, veteran status, and current household composition.

In the income section, which was interviewer-administered, a split-sample study had been embedded within the 2006 and 2007 surveys to compare a shorter version of the income questions with a longer set of questions that had been used in previous surveys. This shorter version was adopted for the 2008 NSDUH and will be used for future NSDUHs.This study has 1 Data Set.

Youth data for the fourth wave of the National Youth Survey

are contained in this data collection. The first wave of this survey

was conducted in 1976, the second wave in 1977, and the third wave in 1978. Data are available in

this wave on the demographic and socioeconomic status of respondents,

disruptive events in the home, youth aspirations and expectations,

social isolation, normlessness, perceived disapproval by parents and

peers, attitudes toward deviance, exposure and commitment to delinquent

peers, sex roles, interpersonal violence, pressure for substance abuse

by peers, self-reported delinquency, drug and alcohol use, and

victimization.This study has 1 Data Set.

The National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) series

(formerly titled National Household Survey on Drug Abuse) 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

2004 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 and retained through the

2003 survey. Background information includes gender, race, age,

ethnicity, marital status, educational level, job status, veteran

status, and current household composition. In addition, in 2004 Adult and Adolescent Mental Health modules were added.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, 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.

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.
