Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions--III

SUMMARY: In compliance with the requirement of Section 3507(a)(1)(D) of 
the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995, the National Institute on Alcohol 
Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), the National Institutes of Health (NIH) 
has submitted to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) a request 
for review and approval of the information collection listed below. 
This proposed information collection was previously published in the 
Federal Register on October 15, 2010, and allowed 60-days for public 
comment. No public comments were received. The purpose of this notice 
is to allow an additional 30 days for public comment. The National 
Institutes of Health may not conduct or sponsor, and the respondent is 
not required to respond to, an information collection that has been 
extended, revised, or implemented on or after October 1, 1995, unless 
it displays a currently valid OMB control number.

    Proposed Collection: Title: National Epidemiologic Survey on 
Alcohol and Related Conditions--III. Type of Information Collection 
Request: NEW. Need and Use of Information Collection: This study will

disorders and their associated disabilities in a representative sample 
of adults in the United States population. The primary objectives of 
this study are to: (1) Understand the relationships between alcohol use 
patterns and alcohol use disorders and their related psychological and 
medical disabilities with a view toward designing more effective 
treatment, prevention and intervention programs; (2) identify subgroups 
at high risk for alcohol use disorders that are complicated by 
associated disabilities; (3) understand treatment utilization, unmet 
treatment need, barriers to treatment, health disparities, and economic 
costs of alcohol use disorders and their associated disabilities; and 
(4) identify environmental and genetic risk factors and their 
interactions that are associated with harmful consumption patterns and 
alcohol use disorders and their associated disabilities. Frequency of 
Response: On occasion. Affected Public: Individuals. Type of 
Respondents: Adults.
