The National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) concatenated 2002-2017 public-use file is the latest in the NSDUH series. NSDUH is the primary source of statistical information on the use of tobacco, alcohol, prescription drugs, and illicit drugs by the U.S. civilian, noninstitutionalized population aged 12 or older. The survey also includes several series of questions that focus on mental health issues.

The 2016-2017 NSDUH State Data Tables and Reports are available here:

The Treatment Episode Data Set - Admissions (TEDS-A) concatenated 2000-2016 and 2016 public-use files are available on the SAMHDA site. In addition, the Treatment Episode Data Set – Discharges (TEDS-D) 2015 and 2016 public-use files are also available. TEDS is a national data system of annual admissions to and discharges from substance abuse treatment facilities.

The Substate Small Area Estimates interactive visualization is live (https://pdas.samhsa.gov/saes/substate) and is linked from the State Estimates page (https://pdas.samhsa.gov/saes/state).

Users have the choice to include or exclude non-response codes using the RDAS system and send this information to the R statistical calculation server.

Previously, SAMHSA treated all missing, logically assigned, and non-response categories as missing, excluding these categories from the result set. Now, categories explicitly labeled as missing (e.g., "." in the NSDUH datasets) are excluded from the crosstab, and all other categories are included in the crosstab.

State estimates for 15 measures of substance use and mental disorders based on the combined 2015 and 2016 National Surveys on Drug Use and Health (NSDUHs) are provided. The NSDUH is an annual survey of the civilian, noninstutionalized population of the United States aged 12 years or older. State and regional estimates are based on a small area estimation (SAE) methodology in which state-level NSDUH data are combined with county and census block group/tract-level data from the state.

State reports from the 2016 NSDUH can be found here: https://www.samhsa.gov/data/nsduh/state-reports-NSDUH-2016

The 2016 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) public-use file is available on the SAMHDA site.

The survey also includes several series of questions that focus on mental health issues.

SAMHSA has partnered with the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) to host restricted-use National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) data at their Federal Statistical Research Data Centers (RDCs). RDCs are secure facilities that provide access to a range of restricted-use microdata for statistical purposes. SAMHSA is the most recent federal partner to work with NCHS in making NSDUH restricted-use microdata available to approved researchers at RDC sites.
