NOTE: This table shows the boundaries used to create the maps shown in the document named "2016-2017 NSDUH National Maps of Prevalence Estimates, by State" at https://www.samhsa.gov/data/. Maps for the 18 or older age group are available only for the following measures: serious mental illness (SMI), any mental illness (AMI), received mental health services, serious thoughts of suicide, and depression (i.e., major depressive episode or MDE).
NOTE: State estimates (which are based on a survey-weighted hierarchical Bayes estimation approach) fall into one of five quintiles according to their ranking. Because 51 states were ranked for each measure, the middle quintile was assigned to 11 states, and the remaining quintiles were assigned 10 states each. In some cases, a "quintile" could have more or fewer states than desired because two (or more) states had the same estimate (to two decimal places). When such ties occurred at the "boundary" between two quintiles, all of the states with the same estimate were conservatively assigned to the lower quintile. Those states with the highest estimates for a given measure are in dark red, with the exception of the perceptions of risk measures, for which the lowest perceptions of great risk are in dark red. Those states with the lowest estimates are in dark blue, with the exception of the perceptions of risk measures, for which the highest perceptions of great risk are in dark blue. The upper and lower limits of each quintile shown in the map legend collectively define a continuum and are not necessarily the actual values of a particular state. Tables containing specific estimates for these states are available on the 2016-2017 NSDUH state web page at https://www.samhsa.gov/data/.
