Short Reports 

Short Reports on selected topics in substance use, abuse, and treatment are released on the web weekly.  Topics include data on specific drugs, such as club drugs, heroin, marijuana, inhalants, alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs.  

NSDUH/NHSDASAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), formerly called the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA)  is the primary source of national information on the prevalence, patterns, and consequences of drug and alcohol use and abuse in the general U.S. civilian non institutionalized population, age 12 and older.  The NHSDA reports provide national statistics on the prevalence, demographic, correlates, perceived harmfulness, and other measures of alcohol, tobacco, non medical use of psychotherapeutics, and illicit drug use.  State estimates of drug use are now available in this series.
DASISThe Drug and Alcohol Services Information System (DASIS) is the primary source of national data on substance abuse treatment.  The DASIS series provides national data on drug and alcohol treatment services and admissions.  DASIS  provides information on substance abuse treatment facility location, characteristics, services offered and utilization.  DASIS also provides data on the demographic and substance abuse characteristics of admissions to substance abuse treatment.  Data in this series come from  the Treatment Episode Data Set (TEDS) and the National Survey of Substance Abuse Treatment Services (N-SSATS) [formerly called the Uniform Facility Data Set (UFDS)].  For more information on DASIS and its components.
DAWNThe Drug Abuse Warning Network (DAWN)  collects data from two types of respondents: (1) hospital emergency departments (EDs) and (2) medical examiners (MEs).  DAWN provides data on the number and characteristics of drug abuse related visits and information on drug abuse related deaths, based on reports about the abuse of illegal drugs or legal substances when used for nonmedical purposes. 
ANALYTICThe Analytic Series  present statistics on such topics as mental health, drug use and driving, workplace policies, and drug use by racial and ethnic groups and other special topics relating to alcohol, drug abuse, and mental health. This series generally provides data from special studies, secondary analysis of multiple data sources, or more in-depth analysis of the data presented in the standard annual reports in the other Office of Applied Studies publication series. 
METHODSThe Methodology Series provides background technical information on OAS data systems.  This series addresses methodological issues concerning data collection systems conducted by SAMHSA's Office of Applied Studies. These reports include studies of new statistical techniques and theories, survey methods, sample design, survey instrument design, and objective evaluations of the reliability of collected data.  Most of the Methods Reports are found only on the web.  Click here to access the Methods Reports that are Web Only.
