Project: 2010 National Survey on Drug Use and Health--(OMB No. 0930-
0110)--Revision

    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.
    The 2010 NSDUH will continue conducting a follow-up clinical 
interview with a subsample of approximately 500 respondents. The design 
of this study is based on the recommendations from a panel of expert 
consultants convened by the Center for Mental Health Services (CMHS), 
SAMHSA, to discuss mental health surveillance data collection 
strategies. The goal is to create a statistically sound measure that 
may be used to estimate the prevalence of Serious Mental Illness (SMI) 
among adults (age 18+).
    For the 2010 NSDUH, no questionnaire changes are proposed.
    As with all NSDUH/NHSDA surveys conducted since 1999, the sample 
size of the survey for 2010 will be sufficient to permit prevalence 
estimates for each of the fifty states and the District of Columbia. 
The total annual burden estimate is shown below:
