Your address is one of several in this area randomly chosen for the 2022 National Survey on Drug Use and Health. This study, sponsored by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, collects information for research and program planning by asking about:

1. tobacco, alcohol, and drug use or non-use,

2. knowledge and attitudes about drugs,

3. mental health, and

4. other health issues.

You cannot be identified through any information you give us. Your name and address will never be connected to your answers. Also, federal law requires us to keep all of your answers confidential. Any data that you provide will only be used by authorized personnel for statistical purposes according to the Confidential Information Protection and Statistical Efficiency Act of 2002.

The screening questions take just a few minutes. If anyone is chosen, the interview will take about an hour. You can refuse to answer any questions, and you can quit at any time. Each person who is chosen and completes the interview will receive $30 in cash.
