Figure B.1 is titled "Required Effective Sample in the 2010 NSDUH as a Function of the Proportion Estimated." It is a graph of a function within a coordinate plane; the horizontal axis shows the proportion estimated, and the vertical axis shows the required effective sample size. A horizontal line through the graph indicates that an effective sample size of 68 is required for the current rule. The graph decreases from an infinitely large required effective sample size when the estimated proportion is close to zero and approaches a local minimum of 50 when the estimated proportion is 0.20. The graph increases for estimated proportions greater than 0.20 until a required effective sample size of 68 is reached for an estimated proportion of 0.50. The graph decreases for estimated proportions greater than 0.50 and approaches a local minimum of 50 for the required effective sample size when the estimated proportion is 0.80. The graph increases for estimated proportions greater than 0.80 and reaches an infinitely large required effective sample size when the estimated proportion is close to 1.

Figure B.2 is titled "AMI and SMI Prediction Based on Alternative K6 and WHODAS Scores." Four abbreviations are defined in a note below the figure: AMI is any mental illness; K6 is the Kessler-6, a six-item psychological distress scale; SMI is serious mental illness; and WHODAS is the eight-item World Health Organization Disability Assessment Schedule. Figure B.2 is a grid chart where the horizontal axis shows the alternative K6 scores ranging from 0 to 17 and the vertical axis shows the alternative WHODAS scores ranging from 0 to 8. Each cell within the grid chart is shown as one of three shades of black: black indicates no mental illness, light gray indicates low/mild mental illness or moderate mental illness, and dark gray indicates SMI. The source for the grid chart is SAMHSA, Center for Behavioral Health Statistics and Quality, National Survey on Drug Use and Health, 2008.

No mental illness can be predicted as follows: by an alternative WHODAS score of 0 and alternative K6 scores ranging from 0 to 4; a WHODAS score of 1 and K6 scores ranging from 0 to 3; or a WHODAS score of 2 and K6 scores of 0 or 1.

SMI can be predicted as follows: by an alternative WHODAS score of 0 or 1 and an alternative K6 score of 17; a WHODAS score of 2 and K6 scores ranging from 15 to 17; a WHODAS score of 3 and K6 scores ranging from 13 to 17; a WHODAS score of 4 and K6 scores ranging from 11 to 17; a WHODAS score of 5 and K6 scores ranging from 9 to 17; a WHODAS score of 6 and K6 scores ranging from 7 to 17; a WHODAS score of 7 and K6 scores ranging from 6 to 17; or a WHODAS score of 8 and K6 scores ranging from 4 to 17.

All other cells predict low/mild mental illness or moderate mental illness.
