SAMHSA Releases Results from the 2013 National Survey on Drug Use and Health

The 2013 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) Summary of National Findings and Detailed Tables are now available from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).

The summary report and detailed tables present a first look at results from the 2013 NSDUH, an annual survey of the civilian, noninstitutionalized population of the United States aged 12 years old or older. Both the report and detailed tables present national estimates of rates of use, numbers of users, and other measures related to illicit drugs, alcohol, and tobacco products, with a focus on trends between 2012 and 2013 and from 2002 to 2013, as well as differences across population subgroups in 2013. NSDUH national estimates related to mental health and NSDUH State-level estimates related to both substance use and mental health will be published in separate releases in the fall of 2014.

SAMHSA plans to release the 2013 NSDUH public-use data file by the end of the year. Visit the NSDUH series home page to learn more about NSDUH data and analysis options.
