The NSDUH (formerly the National
Household Survey on Drug Abuse) is a survey of the civilian,
noninstitutionalized population of the United States, age 12 and
over. The data are used to estimate the prevalence of cigarette,
alcohol and illicit drug use, and abuse of licit drugs. Results are
used by SAMHSA, ONDCP, and other Federal agencies and other
researchers and organizations to establish policy, direct program
activities, and better allocate resources.
Currently, there are 79,851
total burden hours in the OMB inventory. SAMHSA is requesting
81,882 burden hours for the main study. The inclusion of the
additional questions on vaping and synthetics for 2020 will not
result in a significant increase in main study respondent burden
because these questions are closed-ended which typically take an
average 10 seconds to administer, so most respondents will only see
a minor increase. Additional information regarding changes in
burden for the 2020 Clinical Validation Study is included in 2019
OMB addendum – CVS memo and for the 2020 Field Test is included in
the 2019 OMB addendum – FT memo.
