NSDUH Dress Rehearsal Power Analysis

Comparing Dress Rehearsal Estimates to Comparable NSDUH Estimates. A statistical goal of
this Dress Rehearsal is to measure the total effect on NSDUH estimates from all changes to the protocol
planned for the 2015 redesign. Decisions about what sections of the questionnaire and which elements
of the protocol will be changed for 2015 have, for the most part, already been made. As a result, a
pressing statistical issue is the measurement of how the collective set of protocol changes could affect
key NSDUH estimates – overall and by the three major age groups – when the new protocol is
implemented in 2015. The sample size of the Dress Rehearsal (DR) will not be large enough for
quantitatively assessing the impact of individual changes in the protocol, because such analyses would
require dedicated samples for assessing each change. For example, the DR sample size would not allow
for test conditions to assess specific protocol changes, such as the redesigned set of contact materials.
Estimates resulting from using the redesign protocol will be compared to estimates from using
the current NSDUH protocol, including both data from the 2012 Questionnaire Field Test, 2011 NSDUH,
and data from Quarters 3 and 4 of the 2012 NSDUH. The latter data set will allow comparison with data
collected using the current NSDUH protocol during approximately the same field period as the Dress
Rehearsal. Because the DR sample will not include Alaska and Hawaii, NSDUH respondents from those
states will likewise be excluded from the 2011 and Quarter 3 and 4 2012 comparison data sets. This will
increase the statistical efficiency of the comparison. In principle, these exclusions could be a source of
bias if the net impact of the protocol changes is different in Alaska and Hawaii than in the rest of the
United States. The potential for a meaningful bias resulting from excluding interviews outside the 48
contiguous states seems small. Interviews from Alaska and Hawaii typically only comprise about 2.7
percent of the annual NSDUH respondent sample.

Protocols’ columns indicate estimates where questionnaire differences in the redesign protocol could produce values that cannot be projected.
