This report compares the estimated (or realized) precisions of a key set of estimates with the targets for the 2013 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), formerly called the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA). The comparison was made with targets specified by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) and with the predicted precisions that statisticians from RTI International anticipated during the design of the survey. In addition, tables of realized DEFFs are provided. This report is organized as follows. Chapter 2 summarizes the 2013 sample design. Chapter 3 describes the calculation of relative standard errors (RSEs) and DEFFs. Chapter 4 presents tables that compare the observed precisions with the expected precisions. Chapter 5 compares median and mean DEFFs. Chapter 6 presents median and mean DEFFs for specific analysis domains. Finally, concluding remarks are provided in Chapter 7.

This report describes the statistical inference procedures used to produce design-based estimates for the 2012 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH). These design-based estimates are presented in the 2012 national findings report detailed tables, as well as the 2012 mental health findings report and detailed tables. The report covers missingness rates, sampling error, degrees of freedom, statistical significance differences, confidence intervals, incidence estimates, and suppression of estimates with low precision.

This report describes the general principles and procedures for editing and imputation for the variables in the 2012 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH). The report also describes imputation and the predictive mean neighborhood methodology.

This report describes the sample design to the 2012 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH). A coordinated sample design was developed for the 2005 through 2009 NSDUHs. The 2010-2011 and 2012-2013 samples are extensions of the 5-year sample. This report describes the general sample allocation procedures for the main NSDUH study, the NSDUH\'s Mental Health Surveillance Study, and the Questionnaire Field Test.

The goal of this report is to further document the 2016 NSDUH sample experiences, including a comparison of actual sample yields to state and quarter targets, a comparison of achieved and expected design effects (DEFFs) and relative standard errors (RSEs), and documentation of any issues encountered during sample implementation (none in 2016).

The goal of this report is to further document the 2019 NSDUH sample experiences, including a comparison of actual sample yields to state and quarter targets, a comparison of achieved and expected design effects (DEFFs) and relative standard errors, and documentation of any issue encountered during sample implementation. The 2019 sample design is thoroughly documented in the 2019 NSDUH sample design report (Center for Behavioral Health Statistics and Quality, 2020).

This report describes the sample design to the 2011 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH).

This is the 2016 NSDUH Sample Design Report.

This report is a follow-up to the 2022 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH)Sample Design Report. It further documents the 2022 NSDUH sample experiences by comparing expected outcomes with what actually occurred, and documenting unexpected issues that came up during the year. A summary of the sample design is included for context.Chapters:Introduces the report and summarizes the impact of the coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on sample design and data collection.Revisits the 2022 sample design.Documents the sample experiences at the segment levelDocuments the sample experiences at the dwelling-unit levelDocuments the sample experiences at the person levelLooks at sampling error, through a computation of design effects and a comparison of observed and expected precision
