Project: 2011 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (OMB No. 0930-
0110)--Revision
The National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), formerly the
National Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA) is a survey of the
civilian, non-institutionalized population of the United States 12
years old and older. The survey is used to determine the prevalence of
use of tobacco products, alcohol, illicit substances, and illicit use
of prescription drugs. The survey is also used to collect information
on mental health problems and the utilization of substance abuse and
mental health services. 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.
The 2011 NSDUH will continue conducting a follow-up clinical
interview with a subsample of approximately 1,500 respondents. The
design of this study is based on the recommendations from a panel of
expert consultants convened by SAMHSA's Center for Mental Health
Services (CMHS), to discuss mental health surveillance data collection
strategies. The goal is to create a statistically sound measure that
may be used to estimate the prevalence of Serious Mental Illness (SMI)
among adults (age 18+).
For the 2011 NSDUH, no questionnaire changes are proposed.
As with all NSDUH/NHSDA surveys conducted since 1999, the sample
size of the survey for 2011 will be sufficient to permit prevalence
estimates for each of the 50 States and the District of Columbia.
Because the NSDUH collects data on substance use, mental health and
the utilization of substance abuse and mental health services, it is an
appropriate and convenient vehicle to measure the impact of the
Deepwater Horizon oil spill on residents of that region. Therefore,
SAMHSA is planning to expand the NSDUH by oversampling the geographic
region impacted by the oil spill. The current NSDUH sample design will
be implemented and an oversampling method that results in an additional
2,000 completed interviews in the gulf coast region will be employed.
The additional interviews will be concentrated in the coastal counties
of Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, and Mississippi. All survey instruments
and protocols will be identical for this additional sample. The total
number of respondents for the 2011 NSDUH will be 69,500, or 2,000 cases
more than the planned sample size for 2010.
Though there will be some increase in the sample for all four
States involved in the Deepwater Horizon event (Alabama, Florida,
Louisiana, and Mississippi), specific counties in the gulf coast region
were chosen for focused over sampling. These counties were chosen based
on the following criteria:
Claims activity to BP for economic and related health
needs;
County involvement with Department of Education and
Administration for Children and Families programming; and
State assessment of impacted counties based on
consultation with SAMHSA during the preparation of aid applications.
