Substance Abuse and Mental Health

Agency Information Collection
Activities Under Emergency Review by
the Office of Management and Budget
The Substance Abuse and Mental
Health Services Administration
(SAMHSA) has submitted the following
request (see below) for emergency OMB
review under the Paperwork Reduction
Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). OMB
approval has been requested by October
12, 2007. A copy of the information
collection plans may be obtained by
calling the SAMHSA Reports Clearance
Officer on (240) 276–1243.
Title: 2008 National Survey on Drug
Use and Health—(OMB No. 0930–0110).

Affected Public: Individuals or
Households.
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.
This Federal Register notice is
revised to reflect additional information
that will be collected for the 2008
NSDUH. At the request of the Office of
National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP),
additional questions are being
developed to measure marijuana
consumption in the general population.
This information could be useful in
evaluating drug control programs, as
discussed in ‘‘Informing America’s
Policy on Illegal Drugs: What We Don’t
Know Keeps Hurting Us,’’ a report by the
National Research Council.
Since the first Federal Register notice
(published on May 3, 2007), a
condensed version of the 16-item World
Health Organization Disability
Assessment Scale (WHO–DAS) has also
been proposed for the Mental Health
Module. A series of analyses was
performed which examined the
measurement properties of the 16-item
scale with the goal of reducing the scale
to a condensed version. [Item Response
Analyses of the World Health
Organization Disability Assessment
Schedule (WHODAS), SAMHSA, 2007
(unpublished)] These analyses resulted
in an 8-item scale which captures the
information represented in the full
scale. The questions for recruiting
respondents for the follow-up clinical
interview have also been revised to
include a request for the respondent’s
e-mail address.
The Notice that was published on
May 3, 2007 included the following
information for the 2008 NSDUH.
Additional questions are being planned
regarding suicide ideation and
impairment from mental health issues.
An embedded split-sample study is
being planned to determine which one
of two mental health disability scales to
include in future NSDUH survey years.
The two disability scales will be
evaluated by using the SCID–I/NP as a
follow-up interview with a subsample of
respondents.
Other questionnaire changes include
deletion of questions about Hurricanes
