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 on (240) 276-0361.
Proposed Project: 2023-2026 National Survey on Drug Use and Health:
Methodological Field Tests (OMB No. 0930-0290)--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 provide estimates of substance use and
mental illness at the national, state, and substate levels. NSDUH data
also help to identify the extent of substance use and mental illness
among different subgroups, estimate trends over time, and determine the
need for treatment services. 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.
Methodological tests will continue to examine the feasibility,
quality, and efficiency of new procedures or revisions to existing
survey protocol. Specifically, the tests will measure the reliability
and validity of certain questionnaire sections and items through
multiple measurements on a set of respondents; assess new methods for
gaining cooperation and participation of respondents with the goal of
increasing response and decreasing potential bias in the survey
estimates; and assess the impact of new sampling techniques and
technologies on respondent behavior and reporting. Research will
involve focus groups, cognitive laboratory testing, and field tests.
Prior to each methodological test, a separate clearance memo (under
this generic clearance) will be presented to OMB for review.
These methodological tests will continue to examine ways to
increase data quality, lower operating costs, and gain a better
understanding of sources and effects of non-sampling error on NSDUH
estimates. Particular attention will be given to minimizing the impact
of design changes so survey data can be comparable over time. If
findings suggest changes that might lead to improvements to the study,
current procedures or data collection instruments may be revised.
The number of respondents to be included in each field test will
vary, depending on the nature of the subject being tested and the
target population. However, the total estimated response burden is
14,801 hours. The exact number of subjects and burden hours for each
test are unknown at this time, but will be clearly outlined in each
individual submission. These estimated burden hours over three years
are as follows:
