Agency Information Collection Activities: Proposed Collection;
Comment Request
In compliance with Section 3506(c)(2)(A) of the Paperwork Reduction
Act of 1995 concerning opportunity for public comment on proposed
collections of information, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health
Services Administration (SAMHSA) will publish periodic summaries of
proposed projects. To request more information on the proposed projects
or to obtain a copy of the information collection plans, call the
SAMHSA Reports Clearance Officer on (240) 276-1243.
Comments are invited on: (a) Whether the proposed collections of
information are necessary for the proper performance of the functions
of the agency, including whether the information shall have practical
utility; (b) the accuracy of the agency's estimate of the burden of the
proposed collection of information; (c) ways to enhance the quality,
utility, and clarity of the information to be collected; and (d) ways
to minimize the burden of the collection of information on respondents,
including through the use of automated collection techniques or other
forms of information technology.
Proposed Project: 2012 National Survey on Drug Use and Health--(OMB No.
0930-0110)--Revision
The National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) is a survey of
the civilian, non-institutionalized 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.
The 2012 and 2013 NSDUHs will continue conducting a follow-up
clinical interview with a subsample of approximately 1,500 respondents.
The design of this Mental Health Surveillance Study (MHSS) is based on
the recommendations from a panel of expert consultants convened by the
Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS), SAMHSA, 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 2012 and 2013 NSDUHs, no questionnaire changes are
proposed.
As with all NSDUH/NHSDA surveys conducted since 1999, the sample
size of the survey for 2012 and 2013 will be sufficient to permit
prevalence estimates for each of the fifty states and the District of
Columbia. The total annual burden estimate is shown below:
