This Short Report, The NHSDA Report: Cigarette
Use Among American Indian/Alaska Native Youths, is based on SAMHSA's
National Household
Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA), conducted by the Office of Applied
Studies (OAS) in the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
(SAMHSA). SAMHSA's National Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA)
is the primary source of 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
also provides estimates for drug use by state.
