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.
