2000 National Household Survey on Drug Abuse--(0930-0110, Revision)
The National Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA) is a survey of
the civilian, noninstitutionalized population of the United States 12
years old and older. The data are used to determine the prevalence of
use of tobacco products, alcohol, illicit substances, and illicit use
of prescription drugs. The results are used by SAMHSA, ONDCP, Federal
government agencies, and other organizations and researchers to
establish policy, direct program activities, and better allocate
resources.
For the 2000 NHSDA, additional questions in the following
substantive areas are planned: mental health; mental health service
utilization; industry and occupation; youth access to tobacco products
and the cost of the last cigarettes purchased for adults as well as
youth; and, substance abuse and treatment need. The remaining modular
components of the NHSDA questionnaire will remain essentially unchanged
except for minor modifications to wording and selective elimination of
sufficient questions to allow for the additional burden of the
questions and modules listed above.
As in 1999, the sample size of the survey for 2000 will be
sufficient to permit prevalence estimates for each of the fifty states
and the District of Columbia. The total annual burden estimate is
81,626 hours as shown below:
