NSDUH INTRODUCTION VIDEO: VOICEOVER AUDIO - ENGLISH
To serve people across the United States, the National Survey on Drug Use and Health collects
data on substance use, mental health and other health-related issues that are used by local,
state, and national agencies to support education, treatment and prevention programs.
For this survey, households nationwide just like yours are scientifically selected at random and
then visited by a professional interviewer.
During this visit, the interviewer asks a few general questions to determine if anyone in your
household will complete an interview.
To protect your privacy, you record most of your answers into a computer. The interviewer
never sees or hears them. Your answers are combined with those from thousands of others,
and are reported only as overall statistics.
You cannot be replaced so your participation is very important.

NSDUH BENEFITS VIDEO: VOICEOVER AUDIO – ENGLISH
Millions of people across the country are impacted by the issues of substance use and mental
health each day – our family, our friends, our co-workers.
By taking part you may have the opportunity to improve the lives of those in your community.
Local, state and national organizations depend on these data to develop and support critical
education, treatment and prevention efforts. The data can also be helpful in determining where
and when mental health services should be made available to best serve those who need them.
Your participation may help ensure that those in need receive help and education on substance
use and mental health issues, which, in the end, benefits us all.
