Short Reports of about 3 pages on selected topics in substance
use, abuse, and treatment are released on the web weekly. Topics include
data on specific drugs, such as club drugs, heroin, marijuana, inhalants, alcohol,
tobacco, and other drugs as well as correlates of drug use and treatment. |
|
NSDUH |
SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), formerly
called the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA) is the primary source of national information
on the prevalence, patterns, and consequences of drug and alcohol use and abuse
in the general U.S. civilian non institutionalized population, age 12 and older.
The NHSDA reports provide national statistics on the prevalence, demographic,
correlates, perceived harmfulness, and other measures of alcohol, tobacco, non
medical use of psychotherapeutics, and illicit drug use. State estimates
of drug use are now available in this series. |
|
DASIS |
The
Drug and Alcohol Services Information System (DASIS)
is the primary source of national data on substance abuse treatment. The
DASIS series provides national data on drug and alcohol treatment services and
admissions. DASIS provides information on substance abuse treatment
facility location, characteristics, services offered and utilization. DASIS
also provides data on the demographic and substance abuse characteristics of admissions
to substance abuse treatment. Data in this series come from the Treatment
Episode Data Set (TEDS) and the National Survey of Substance Abuse Treatment Services
(N-SSATS) [formerly called the Uniform Facility Data Set (UFDS)]. For
more information on DASIS and its components.

DAWN |
The
Drug Abuse Warning Network (DAWN)
collects data from two types of respondents: (1) hospital emergency departments
(EDs) and (2) medical examiners (MEs). DAWN provides data on the number
and characteristics of drug abuse related visits and information on drug abuse
related deaths, based on reports about the abuse of illegal drugs or legal substances
when used for nonmedical purposes. |

The
Analytic Series present statistics on such
topics as mental health, drug use and driving, workplace policies, and drug use
by racial and ethnic groups and other special topics relating to alcohol, drug
abuse, and mental health. This series generally provides data from special studies,
secondary analysis of multiple data sources, or more in-depth analysis of the
data presented in the standard annual reports in the other Office of Applied Studies
publication series. |
