[1] Due to survey methodology changes in 1999, comparisons to results prior to 1999 must be limited. The survey's name was changed from the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA) to the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) in 2002. Each NSDUH respondent beginning in 2002 is given an incentive payment of $30, resulting in a substantial improvement in the survey response rate.
