Project: 2019 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (OMB No. 0930-
0110)--Extension
The National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) is a survey of
the U.S. civilian, non-institutionalized population aged 12 years old
or 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, the Office of
National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP), federal government agencies, and
other organizations and researchers to establish policy, to direct
program activities, and to better allocate resources.
This is an extension to the 2019 National Survey on Drug Use and
Health (NSDUH). There are no substantive changes to the questionnaire
or changes in burden. The 2019 NSDUH will continue to include questions
on medication-assisted treatment (MAT) and kratom.
As with all NSDUH surveys conducted since 1999, including those
prior to 2002 when the NSDUH was referred to as the National Household
Survey on Drug Abuse, the sample size of the survey for 2019 will be
sufficient to permit prevalence estimates for each of the 50 states and
the District of Columbia. The total annual burden estimate is shown
below in Table 1.
