The NSDUH (formerly the National
Household Survey on Drug Abuse) is a survey of the civilian,
noninstitutionalized population of the United States, age 12 and
over. The data are used to estimate the prevalence of cigarette,
alcohol and illicit drug use, and abuse of licit drugs. Results are
used by SAMHSA, ONDCP, and other Federal agencies and other
researchers and organizations to establish policy, direct program
activities, and better allocate resources.
Currently there are 88,489
total burden hours in the 2011 OMB inventory. The 2012/2013 NSDUH
is requesting 85,991 total burden hours. The decrease is due to the
special Gulf Coast oversample of 2000 cases that was conducted in
2011 only.
On behalf of this Federal agency, I certify that
the collection of information encompassed by this request complies
