Project: 2012 National Survey on Drug Use and Health--(OMB No. 0930-
0110)--Revision

    The National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) is a survey of 
the civilian, non-institutionalized 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.
    The 2012 and 2013 NSDUHs will continue conducting a follow-up 
clinical interview with a subsample of approximately 1,500 respondents. 
The design of this Mental Health Surveillance Study (MHSS) is based on 
the recommendations from a panel of expert consultants convened by the 
Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS), SAMHSA, to discuss mental 
health surveillance data collection strategies. The goal is to create a 
statistically sound measure that may be used to estimate the prevalence 
of Serious Mental Illness (SMI) among adults (age 18+).
    For the 2012 and 2013 NSDUHs, no questionnaire changes are 
proposed.
    As with all NSDUH/NHSDA surveys conducted since 1999, the sample 
size of the survey for 2012 and 2013 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:
