Substance Abuse and Mental Health 

Services Administration 

Agency Information Collection 

Activities Under Emergency Review by 

the Office of Management and Budget 

The Substance Abuse and Mental 

Health Services Administration 

(SAMHSA) has submitted the following 

request (see below) for emergency OMB 

review under the Paperwork Reduction 

Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). OMB 

approval has been requested by October 

12, 2007. A copy of the information 

collection plans may be obtained by 

calling the SAMHSA Reports Clearance 

Officer on (240) 276–1243. 

Title: 2008 National Survey on Drug 

Use and Health—(OMB No. 0930–0110). 

OMB Number: 0930–0110. 

Frequency: Annual. 

Affected Public: Individuals or 

Households. 

The National Survey on Drug Use and 

Health (NSDUH), formerly the National 

Household Survey on Drug Abuse 

(NHSDA), is a survey of the civilian, 

non-institutionalized population of the 

United States 12 years old and 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, ONDCP, Federal 

government agencies, and other 

organizations and researchers to 

establish policy, direct program 

activities, and better allocate resources. 

This Federal Register notice is 

revised to reflect additional information 

that will be collected for the 2008 

NSDUH. At the request of the Office of 

National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP), 

additional questions are being 

developed to measure marijuana 

consumption in the general population. 

This information could be useful in 

evaluating drug control programs, as 

discussed in ‘‘Informing America’s 

Policy on Illegal Drugs: What We Don’t 

Know Keeps Hurting Us,’’ a report by the 

National Research Council. 

Since the first Federal Register notice 

(published on May 3, 2007), a 

condensed version of the 16-item World 

Health Organization Disability 

Assessment Scale (WHO–DAS) has also 

been proposed for the Mental Health 

Module. A series of analyses was 

performed which examined the 

measurement properties of the 16-item 

scale with the goal of reducing the scale 

to a condensed version. [Item Response 

Analyses of the World Health 

Organization Disability Assessment 

Schedule (WHODAS), SAMHSA, 2007 

(unpublished)] These analyses resulted 

in an 8-item scale which captures the 

information represented in the full 

scale. The questions for recruiting 

respondents for the follow-up clinical 

interview have also been revised to 

include a request for the respondent’s 

e-mail address. 

The Notice that was published on 

May 3, 2007 included the following 

information for the 2008 NSDUH. 

Additional questions are being planned 

regarding suicide ideation and 

impairment from mental health issues. 

An embedded split-sample study is 

being planned to determine which one 

of two mental health disability scales to 

include in future NSDUH survey years. 

The two disability scales will be 

evaluated by using the SCID–I/NP as a 

follow-up interview with a subsample of 

respondents. 

Other questionnaire changes include 

deletion of questions about Hurricanes
