In September 1998, NIDA awarded a competitive contract to Westat, Inc., a health survey research company, and subcontracts to The Annenberg School for Communication, University of Pennsylvania, and the National Development Research Institute (NDRI), to undertake a science-based evaluation of the National Youth Anti-Drug Media Campaign sponsored by the ONDCP. During the development year (1999), Westat and colleagues designed and implemented a nationally-representative household survey of youth and parents living in the same household, entitled National Survey of Parents and Youth. After Round 1 of interviews, which occurred in Waves 1, 2, or 3, youth and parents were re-interviewed three additional times, approximately once a year, in regard to exposure to the Campaign through June 2004. Westat has produced produce semiannual, annual and special reports that provide data on the impact of the Campaign on attitudes, beliefs, intentions and behaviors on these youth and parents over time. The Public Use Files (PUF) containing data for the first three rounds of the survey are now available for download from this site. Each of the three files includes a representative but reduced sample of youth responses for that round. Identifying information and links both to the respondent's data for other rounds of the survey and his/her parent's surveys have been eliminated to protect respondent confidentiality. Selected parent variables have been appended to the records in the file.

In 2005, NIDA awarded a contract to the NSPY Center - a joint venture between AMSAQ, Inc. and Westat. The NSPY Center is charged with housing, managing, and analyzing restricted use data collected via the National Survey of Parents and Youth (NSPY) during Phase III of the Evaluation of the National Youth Anti-drug Media Campaign.
