Proposed Project: 2010 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 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 3/60 40/60 Total burden (in hours) 5 667 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. The 2010 NSDUH will continue conducting a follow-up clinical interview with a subsample of approximately 500 respondents. The design of this study is based on the recommendations from a panel of expert consultants convened by the Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS), SAMHSA, to discuss mental health surveillance data collection strategies. The goal is to create a statistically sound measure that may be used to estimate the prevalence of Serious Mental Illness (SMI) among adults (age 18+). For the 2010 NSDUH, no questionnaire changes are proposed. As with all NSDUH/NHSDA surveys conducted since 1999, the sample size of the survey for 2010 will be sufficient to permit prevalence estimates for each of the fifty states and the District of Columbia.
