Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration


Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB 
Review; Comment Request

    Periodically, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services 
Administration (SAMHSA) will publish a summary of information 
collection requests under OMB review, in compliance with the Paperwork 
Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. chapter 35). To request a copy of these 
documents, call the SAMHSA Reports Clearance Officer on (301) 443-7978.
    Proposed Project: 2005 National Survey on Drug Use and Health--(OMB 
No. 0930-0110, Revision)--The National Survey on Drug Use and Health 
(NSDUH), formerly the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA), 
is a survey of the civilian, noninstitutionalized population of the 
United States 12 years old and older. The data are used to determine 
the prevalence of use of tobacco products, alcohol, illicit substances, 
and illicit use of prescription drugs. The results are used by SAMHSA, 
ONDCP, Federal government agencies, and other organizations and 
researchers to establish policy, direct program activities, and better 
allocate resources.
    For the 2005 NSDUH, questions on mental health and utilization of 
mental health services will be included. Questions on mental health, in 
conjunction with questions on substance use, treatment for substance 
use, and mental health services, will greatly enhance the ability to 
characterize and understand the co-occurrence and treatment of mental 
illness and substance use problems in the U.S. The remaining modular 
components of the questionnaire will remain essentially unchanged 
except for minor modifications to wording.
    As with all NSDUH/NHSDA surveys conducted since 1999, the sample 
size of the survey for 2005 will be sufficient to permit prevalence 
estimates for each of the fifty states and the District of Columbia. 
The total annual burden estimate is shown below:
