Proposed Project: 2015 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.
In order to continue producing
current data, SAMHSA’s Center for
Behavioral Health Statistics and Quality
(CBHSQ) must periodically update
aspects of the NSDUH to reflect the
changing substance use and mental
health issues and to continue producing
current data. CBHSQ has such plans for
the 2015 NSDUH survey year to achieve
two goals: (1) Revise the questionnaire
to address changing policy and research
data needs, and (2) modify the survey
methodology to improve the quality of
estimates and the efficiency of data
collection and processing.
Planned revisions for the 2015
NSDUH to the questionnaire,
methodology and materials, including
an assessment of new computer
equipment, were initially tested in 2012
as part of the NSDUH Questionnaire
Field Test (QFT) (OMB No. 0930–0334),
then further refined and tested again in
2013 during the NSDUH Dress
Rehearsal (DR) (OMB No. 0930–0334).
As such, most of the changes described
herein were successfully tested as part
of the QFT and/or DR unless otherwise
specified.
The changes to the questionnaire
content for 2015 will include: (a)
Revisions to modules for smokeless
tobacco, hallucinogens, inhalants,
prescription drugs, special drugs,
consumption of alcohol, and health
care; (b) revisions to the educational
attainment response categories; (c) a
lower threshold of binge alcohol use for
females; (d) a new methamphetamine
module; (e) addition of two sexual
orientation questions to be asked of
adults; and (f) revisions to back-end
demographics questions. Also, to aid
respondent recall within the
questionnaire, prescription drug images
and a reference date calendar will
display on the computer screen rather
than being displayed in hard-copy,
paper form.
There are a few additional changes to
the questionnaire content for 2015 not
tested during the DR, which include: (a)
The term ‘‘Molly’’ will be added to
questions about Ecstasy in the
hallucinogens module; (b) routine
updates to logic and wording for
consistency and to maximize
respondent comprehension; and (c)
other minor changes to questions
throughout the instrument to clarify
intent.
Several changes are also planned to
the methodology for 2015 in an effort to
improve the efficiency of data collection
and processing; these were tested during
the QFT and DR. A new 7-inch touch
screen tablet will be used for screening
and interview respondent selection, in
addition to a new lightweight laptop
used to administer the questionnaire.
Also redesigned versions of the lead
letter (mailed to respondents prior to
being contacted by an interviewer) and
a question & answer brochure will be
provided to respondents. As necessary,
all materials provided to respondents
for 2015 will be updated to now
reference the U.S. Department of Health
and Human Services (instead of U.S.
Public Health Service) and any previous
mention of the Contractor, Research
Triangle Institute, will now appear as
RTI International. Due to changes to the
questionnaire content, the showcard
booklet, which allows respondents to
refer to information necessary for
accurate responses, will contain fewer
showcards.
Along with the new laptop, text to
speech (TTS) software is being
programmed and tested for
implementation within the
questionnaire for 2015. TTS uses a
computer-generated voice to read text
displayed on-screen, rather than relying
on the pre-recorded audio files from a
human voice used previously with the
audio computer-assisted selfinterviewing (ACASI) portions of the
interview. Though TTS was not tested
as part of the QFT or DR, during an
evaluation of the software, there were
no problems understanding any words
or phrases produced by the TTS voices
in English or Spanish, so it will be
implemented for the 2015 NSDUH
unless there is a significant problem
shown during testing. If TTS is not
implemented, the current method of
using pre-recorded audio files will be
continued for the 2015 NSDUH.
In addition, interviewers will now
have the option of showing a short
video via the multimedia capability of
the touch screen tablet. The video
(approx. 50 seconds in run time) will
provide a brief explanation of the study
and why participation is important.
Also contained within the tablet and
new for 2015 is a parental introductory
script, designed to be read to a parent
or guardian once a youth respondent is
selected to complete an interview. This
script will standardize the introductory
conversations with parent/guardians.
As with all NSDUH/NHSDA (prior to
2002, the NSDUH was referred to as the
National Household Survey on Drug
Abuse (NHSDA)) surveys conducted
since 1999, the sample size of the
survey for 2015 will be sufficient to
permit prevalence estimates for each of
the fifty States and the District of
Columbia. The sample design for 2015
will be the same as the design used for
2014 data collection. This design places
more sample in the 26 or older age
groups to more accurately estimate drug
use and related mental health measures
among the aging drug use population,
and allows for the possible adoption of
address-based sampling in the future.
The total annual burden estimate is
shown in Table 1.

Proposed Project: 2015 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

In order to continue producing current data, SAMHSA's Center for
Behavioral Health Statistics and Quality (CBHSQ) must periodically
update aspects of the NSDUH to reflect the changing substance use and
mental health issues and to continue producing current data. CBHSQ has
such plans for the 2015 NSDUH survey year to achieve two goals: (1)
Revise the questionnaire to address changing policy and research data
needs, and (2) modify the survey methodology to improve the quality of
estimates and the efficiency of data collection and processing.
Planned revisions for the 2015 NSDUH to the questionnaire,
methodology and materials, including an assessment of new computer

Questionnaire Field Test (QFT) (OMB No. 0930-0334), then further
refined and tested again in 2013 during the NSDUH Dress Rehearsal (DR)
(OMB No. 0930-0334). As such, most of the changes described herein were
successfully tested as part of the QFT and/or DR unless otherwise
specified.
The changes to the questionnaire content for 2015 will include: (a)
Revisions to modules for smokeless tobacco, hallucinogens, inhalants,
prescription drugs, special drugs, consumption of alcohol, and health
care; (b) revisions to the educational attainment response categories;
(c) a lower threshold of binge alcohol use for females; (d) a new

Several changes are also planned to the methodology for 2015 in an

Research Triangle Institute, will now appear as RTI International. Due
to changes to the questionnaire content, the showcard booklet, which
allows respondents to refer to information necessary for accurate
responses, will contain fewer showcards.
Along with the new laptop, text to speech (TTS) software is being
programmed and tested for implementation within the questionnaire for
2015. TTS uses a computer-generated voice to read text displayed on-
