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 85,991 total burden hours in the 2012 OMB inventory. The 2013 NSDUH is requesting 80,614 burden hours. The decrease of 5,377 burden hours is due to the cancellation of clinical follow-up interviews.
