This Short Report,
The NSDUH Report: Use

The survey is conducted by the Office of Applied Studies
(OAS) in the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration

patterns, and consequences of drug and alcohol use and abuse and for selected
mental health measures in the general U.S. civilian non institutionalized
population, age 12 and older. SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug
Use & Health also provides estimates for drug use
