The goal of this report is to further document the 2018 NSDUH sample experiences, including a comparison of actual sample yields to state and quarter targets, a comparison of achieved and expected design effects (DEFFs) and relative standard errors, and documentation of any issue encountered during sample implementation. The 2018...

This report summarizes the 2018 NSDUH methods and other supporting information relevant to estimates of substance use and mental health issues, and organized into five chapters. Chapter 1 is an introduction to the report. Chapter 2 describes the survey, including information about the sample design; data collection procedures; and key...

This report focuses on the editing and statistical imputation procedures that were applied to respondent data for the 2017 NSDUH. Logical editing uses data from elsewhere within the same respondent's record to reduce the occurrence of missing or ambiguous data or to resolve inconsistencies between related variables. Imputation is defined...

The focus of this report is to describe the statistical inference procedures used to produce design-based estimates as presented in the 2017 detailed tables and the 2017 FFR, which are based on restricted-use data.

This report addresses the following topics relating to data collection for the 2017 NSDUH: Sampling and Counting and Listing Operations, Data Collection Staffing, Preparation of Survey Materials, Field Staff Training, Data Collection, Data Collection Results, and Quality Control.

This report contains a brief review of the sampling weight calibration methodology used for the 2017 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH). This report also lists detailed documentation on the implementation steps and evaluation results from the weight calibration application. The constrained exponential modeling (CEM) method used in...

This report details the 2018 sample design for the NSDUH and covers the design overview, target population, and stages of sample selection. The design overview describes how the sample design remains consistent with NSDUH’s designs since 1991 and has extended coverage of the sample since then to include additional resident...

NSDUH allows for estimating characteristics at the person level, pair level, and household or QDU level. This report describes the weight calibration methods used for the pair- and QDU-level respondents. As described in the person-level report, NSDUH is an annual survey of about 67,500 people selected from the civilian, noninstitutionalized...

A document describing how to use the P-Value Tables. The format is either HTML or PDF.

This report evaluates NSDUH\'s coverage of several demographic, socioeconomic, and geographic domains or subpopulations that are of interest to data users. It is intended to be an informative summary of NSDUH coverage with respect to other sources of data. In most cases, the data source that is used for comparison...

This document provides information on the model-based small area estimates of substance use and mental disorders in states based on data from the combined 2016-2017 National Surveys on Drug Use and Health (NSDUHs).

The purpose of this report is to guide analysts interested in fitting regression models using data from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) by providing them with methods for handling missing item values in regression analyses (MIVRA). The report includes a theoretical review of existing MIVRA methods...

The main objective of this methodological report is to provide comparisons between NSDUH and other national data sources for adult and adolescent mental health prevalence estimates, updating a previous report comparing 2009 NSDUH estimates with other data sources (Hedden et al., 2012). Other sources of data are 2001 to 2003...

This report is organized into seven sections. Section A describes the survey, including information about the sample design, data collection procedures, and key aspects of data processing (e.g., development of analysis weights). Section B presents technical details on the statistical methods and measurement, such as suppression criteria for unreliable estimates...

This report provides a guide to the development and presentation of 2014-2016 NSDUH substate estimates. A summary of the estimation methodology is included as well as sample sizes, response rates, and population estimates.
