Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request

Project: 2017 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 U.S. civilian, non-institutionalized population aged 12 years old
or 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, the Office of
National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP), Federal government agencies, and
other organizations and researchers to establish policy, direct program
activities, and better allocate resources.
While NSDUH must be updated periodically to reflect changing
substance use and mental health issues and to continue producing
current data, for the 2017 NSDUH only the following minor changes are
planned: (1) Updated questions so respondents who report no use of
alcohol are not asked about misuse of prescription drugs with alcohol;
and (2) included other minor wording changes to improve the flow of the
interview, increase respondent comprehension or to be consistent with
text in other questions.
As with all NSDUH/NHSDA \1\ surveys conducted since 1999, the
sample size of the survey for 2017 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 in Table 1.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ Prior to 2002, the NSDUH was referred to as the National
Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA).
