The 2-Year R-DAS NSDUH study includes a modification to the mapping of certain “OTHER, Specify” race responses to the detailed race categories reported in the IRNWRACE and NEWRACE1 variables. Specifically, responses of "Pakistan," "Bangladesh," "Nepal," and "Bhutan," that were previously mapped to "Asian Indian," are now mapped to "Other Asian."
