DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES
Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
Agency Information Collection Activities: Submission for OMB
Review; Comment Request
Periodically, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services
Administration (SAMHSA) will publish a summary of information
collection requests under OMB review, in compliance with the Paperwork
Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. Chapter 35). To request a copy of these
documents, call the SAMHSA Reports Clearance Officer at (240) 276-0361.
Project: 2022 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (OMB No. 0930-
0110)
SAMHSA is requesting from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
approval to administer the National Survey on Drug Use and Health
(NSDUH), a survey of the U.S. civilian, non-institutionalized
population aged 12 years old or older. NSDUH 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,
direct program activities, and better allocate resources.
As certain parts of the United States reduce COVID-19 restrictions,
NSDUH in-person data collection will proceed where possible. However,
to ensure sufficient data are collected to produce nationally
representative estimates for the 2022 survey, NSDUH will continue to
employ a mix of in-person and web-based modes of administration to
allow those respondents living in areas with COVID-19 restrictions the
opportunity to participate. If the COVID-19 pandemic subsides to such
levels to allow in-person data collection to resume nationwide, SAMHSA
may reassess that multimode data collection model as part of the 2022
NSDUH.
In those areas where in-person data collection is permitted, NSDUH
protocols, processes, and materials will continue to reflect the need
to ensure the safety of respondents and field interviewers with respect
to COVID-19--after initial implementation of such measures beginning in
October 2020--which include equipping field interviewers with masks,
gloves, disinfecting wipes, and hand sanitizer for use during data
collection and providing a COVID-19 risk information form to all
respondents.
Unlike previous NSDUHs, a hybrid address-based sampling (ABS)
design will be implemented for the 2022 NSDUH. ABS refers to the
sampling of residential addresses from a list based on the U.S. Postal
Service's Computerized Delivery Sequence file. In areas with high
expected ABS coverage, the ABS frame will be used. In all other areas,
traditional field enumeration will be used to construct the dwelling
unit frames.
In addition, the NSDUH questionnaire must be updated periodically
to reflect changing substance use and mental health issues and to
continue producing current data. For the 2022 NSDUH, the following
questionnaire updates are planned: (1) Replacing the tobacco module
with a redesigned nicotine module that includes questions about vaping,
removes low priority items to reduce respondent burden and eliminates
outdated terminology; (2) revising the marijuana module to include
questions about the use of CBD, update questions on the mode of
administration and eliminate outdated terminology and includes changes
to the market information for marijuana questions; (3) redesigning the
adult and youth mental health services utilization modules into one
Mental Health Service Utilization model to remove questions with
outdated terminology and include questions about newer treatments with
recent increases in popularity; and (4) replacing the drug treatment
module with a redesigned alcohol and drug treatment module that
includes questions about newer treatments and those that have increased
in popularity, as well as eliminating outdated terminology and reducing
respondent burden.
As with all NSDUH/NHSDA \1\ surveys conducted since 1999, the
sample size of the NSDUH main study for 2022 will be sufficient to
permit prevalence estimates for each of the fifty states and the
District of Columbia. The total annual burden estimate for the NSDUH
main study is shown below in Table 1.

\1\ Prior to 2002, the NSDUH was referred to as the National
Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA).
