This report details the 2018 sample design for the NSDUH and covers the design overview, target population, and stages of sample selection. The design overview describes how the sample design remains consistent with NSDUH’s designs since 1991 and has extended coverage of the sample since then to include additional resident populations. The 2018 target population for this report comprises a civilian, noninstitutionalized population aged 12 years or older residing within the 50 states and the District of Columbia. There are three stages of sample selection that are explained in terms of how to select and aggregate the appropriate census tracts and segments based on state sampling regions (SSRs) for each state.

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 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 2015 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.

This report describes the sampling design for the 2015 NSDUH.

This is the 2016 NSDUH Sample Design Report.

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).
