| Summary: | This series measures the prevalence and correlates of drug
use in the United States. The surveys are designed to provide
quarterly, as well as annual, estimates. Information is provided on
the use of illicit drugs, alcohol, anabolic steroids, and tobacco
among members of United States households aged 12 and older. Questions
include age at first use, as well as lifetime, annual, and past-month
usage for the following drug classes: cannabis, inhalants, cocaine,
hallucinogens, heroin, alcohol, tobacco, and nonmedical use of
psychotherapeutics. Respondents were also asked about problems
resulting from their use of drugs, alcohol, and tobacco, their
perceptions of the risks involved, insurance coverage, and personal
and family income sources and amounts. Demographic data include
gender, race, ethnicity, educational level, job status, income level,
household composition, and population density. |

|
| For selected
variables, statistical imputation was performed following logical
imputation to replace missing responses. Unique code values were
assigned to the recency-of-use variable when such logical imputation
occurred. These code values are readily identifiable by the phrase
"... LOGICALLY IMPUTED" or "... LOGICALLY ASSIGNED" in the code
value descriptions. |

|
| Data were weighted based on the three stages
of sampling that were used. The person-level sampling weight is the
product of the three-stage sampling weights, each of which is equal to
the inverse of the selection probability for that stage. Adjustments
were made to compensate for nonresponse and sampling
error. Adjustments also included trimming sample weights to reduce
excessive weight variation and a post-stratification to Census
population estimates. |

| 2008-07-25 - New files were added. These files included one or more of the following: Stata setup, SAS transport (CPORT), SPSS
system, Stata system, SAS supplemental syntax, and Stata supplemental syntax files, and tab-delimited ASCII data file. The variable CASEID was also added to the dataset. |

|
| 2005-11-04 - On 2005-03-14 new files were added to one
or more datasets. These files included additional setup files as well
as one or more of the following: SAS program, SAS transport, SPSS portable,
and Stata system files. The metadata record was revised 2005-11-04 to
reflect these additions. |

| |
|
| 1999-03-18 - The data file was reprocessed to recode missing
values previously coded as "." to blanks. This will enable users to
use the data in SPSS without modification. Also, SAS and SPSS data
definition statements are now available for this study. |
