[Federal Register: June 27, 2008 (Volume 73, Number 125)] [Notices] [Page 36539-36540] From the Federal Register Online via GPO Access [wais.access.gpo.gov] [DOCID:fr27jn08-66] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB Review; Comment Request Periodically, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) will publish a summary of information collection requests under OMB review, in compliance with the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request a copy of these documents, call the SAMHSA Reports Clearance Officer on (240) 276-1243. Project: 2009 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 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. In the 2009 NSDUH, one scale measuring impairment from mental health issues will be adopted. The decision to adopt either the Sheehan or the WHO-DAS is currently being evaluated in the 2008 NSDUH by using the SCID-I/NP as a follow-up interview with a subsample of respondents. Based upon a substantive review of questions in the Youth Mental Health Services Utilization module, some additions and deletions will be made to this section to more specifically depict the types of providers and service delivery sites for youth mental health services. The remaining modular components of the questionnaire will remain essentially unchanged except for minor modifications to wording. As with all NSDUH/NHSDA surveys conducted since 1999, the sample size of the survey for 2009 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: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Average burden No. of Responses per per response Total burden responses respondent (hr.)
