NOTE: Estimates in the 2020 column are italicized to indicate caution should be used when comparing estimates between 2020 and prior years because of methodological changes for 2020. Due to these changes, significance testing between 2020 and prior years was not performed. See the 2020 National Survey on Drug Use and Health: Methodological Summary and Definitions for details.
NOTE: Some 2006 to 2010 estimates may differ from previously published estimates due to updates (see Chapter 3 of the 2020 National Survey on Drug Use and Health: Methodological Summary and Definitions).
1 Illicit Drug Use in Lifetime includes the misuse of prescription psychotherapeutics even though those estimates are not reported due to potential underreporting in lifetime prescription psychotherapeutics estimates.
2 Illicit Drugs Other Than Marijuana excludes respondents who used only marijuana but includes those who used marijuana in addition to other illicit drugs.

NOTE: Estimates in the 2020 column are italicized to indicate caution should be used when comparing estimates between 2020 and prior years because of methodological changes for 2020. Due to these changes, significance testing between 2020 and prior years was not performed. See the 2020 National Survey on Drug Use and Health: Methodological Summary and Definitions for details.
NOTE: Some 2006 to 2010 estimates may differ from previously published estimates due to updates (see Chapter 3 of the 2020 National Survey on Drug Use and Health: Methodological Summary and Definitions).
1 Prescription psychotherapeutic subtypes were revised in 2016; one effect was the comparability of codeine products between 2015 and later years.
2 Illicit Drugs Other Than Marijuana excludes respondents who used only marijuana but includes those who used marijuana in addition to other illicit drugs.
3 Information about past year use of pipe tobacco was not collected. The estimate for tobacco product use in the past year excludes past year pipe tobacco use, but includes past month pipe tobacco use.

NOTE: Estimates in the 2020 column are italicized to indicate caution should be used when comparing estimates between 2020 and prior years because of methodological changes for 2020. Due to these changes, significance testing between 2020 and prior years was not performed. See the 2020 National Survey on Drug Use and Health: Methodological Summary and Definitions for details.
NOTE: Some 2006 to 2010 estimates may differ from previously published estimates due to updates (see Chapter 3 of the 2020 National Survey on Drug Use and Health: Methodological Summary and Definitions).
1 Prescription psychotherapeutic subtypes were revised in 2016; one effect was the comparability of codeine products between 2015 and later years.
2 Illicit Drugs Other Than Marijuana excludes respondents who used only marijuana but includes those who used marijuana in addition to other illicit drugs.
3 Estimates of binge alcohol use include use by those who were heavy alcohol users.

1 Prescription psychotherapeutic subtypes were revised in 2016; one effect was the comparability of codeine products between 2015 and later years.
2 Illicit Drugs Other Than Marijuana excludes respondents who used only marijuana but includes those who used marijuana in addition to other illicit drugs.
3 Information about past year use of pipe tobacco was not collected. The estimate for tobacco product use in the past year excludes past year pipe tobacco use, but includes past month pipe tobacco use.

* = low precision; -- = not available; da = does not apply; nc = not comparable due to methodological changes; nr = not reported due to measurement issues.
NOTE: Estimates in the 2020 column are italicized to indicate caution should be used when comparing estimates between 2020 and prior years because of methodological changes for 2020. Due to these changes, significance testing between 2020 and prior years was not performed. See the 2020 National Survey on Drug Use and Health: Methodological Summary and Definitions for details.
NOTE: Some 2006 to 2010 estimates may differ from previously published estimates due to updates (see Chapter 3 of the 2020 National Survey on Drug Use and Health: Methodological Summary and Definitions).
1 Prescription psychotherapeutic subtypes were revised in 2016; one effect was the comparability of codeine products between 2015 and 2016.
2 Includes only respondents who smoked cigarettes on each of the past 30 days.
3 Estimates of binge alcohol use include use by those who were heavy alcohol users.
4 Respondents with missing data for number of cigarettes smoked per day were excluded from the analysis.
Definitions: Measures and terms are defined in Appendix A.
