Introduction

The Results from the 2023 National Survey on Drug Use and Health: Detailed Tables is a collection of tables presenting national estimates from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH). These tables present combined information for youths aged 12 to 17 and adults aged 18 or older on drug, alcohol, and tobacco use (including nicotine vaping), as well as substance use disorder (SUD), risk and availability of substance use, treatment, and health topics. Specific to youths, these tables present separate information on youth experiences, mental health treatment, suicidality, major depressive episode (MDE), and co-occurrence of MDE with substance use or with SUDs. Specific to adults, these tables present separate information on any mental illness (AMI), serious mental illness (SMI), mental health treatment, suicidality, MDE, serious psychological distress (SPD), and co-occurrence of mental disorders with substance use or with SUDs. Estimates are presented by a variety of demographic, geographic, and other variables. The tables include prevalence rates of the behaviors, numbers of people engaging in these behaviors, and other statistics.

The reference tools section summarizes the tools provided to help navigate the detailed tables and to define the topics presented within them. These tools include the Table of Contents; glossary; List of Tables, including titles, numbers, and types; and a search feature. A glossary of topics and terms used in these detailed tables can be found in Appendix A. Where relevant, the glossary provides cross-references to refer data users to the correct entry in the glossary or to aid data users in understanding the meaning of the current definition. In addition to these tools, several NSDUH reports include more details on the topics presented in the detailed tables. The 2023 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH): Methodological Summary and Definitions report provides further analytic details on the survey topics, design, and methodology.1 The Key Substance Use and Mental Health Indicators in the United States: Results from the 2023 National Survey on Drug Use and Health report focuses on presenting data among people aged 12 or older.2 The 2023 Companion Infographic Report: Results from the 2021, 2022, and 2023 National Surveys on Drug Use and Health shows comparisons of selected estimates from 2021 to 2023 among people aged 12 or older.3 The Behavioral Health by Race and Ethnicity: Results from the 2021-2023 National Surveys on Drug Use and Health report shows comparisons of selected estimates for racial or ethnic groups using pooled data from the 2021-2023 NSDUHs.4 The 2023 Highlighted Population Slides are a forthcoming set of slides that will explore data among particular populations and will be available at https://www.samhsa.gov/data/release/2023-national-survey-drug-use-and-health-nsduh-releases.

Survey Background

NSDUH is an annual multimode survey sponsored by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration within the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The target population for NSDUH is the civilian, noninstitutionalized population aged 12 years or older residing within the United States. The survey covers residents of households (e.g., individuals living in houses or townhouses, apartments, and condominiums; civilians living in housing on military bases) and individuals in noninstitutional group quarters (e.g., shelters, rooming or boarding houses, college dormitories, migratory workers’ camps, halfway houses). The survey does not cover individuals without a fixed household address (e.g., homeless and/or transient people not in shelters), active-duty military personnel, and residents of institutional group quarters, such as jails or hospitals. Those who are unable to take the survey in either English or Spanish are part of the eligible population but are unable to complete it. For more information, see the 2023 Methodological Summary and Definitions report.

Analysis Weights

NSDUH person-level weights are calibrated to population estimates for the state and demographic domains provided by the U.S. Census Bureau. Starting with the 2021 NSDUH, population estimates based on the 2020 decennial census were used in developing the person-level analysis weights.

The use of multimode data collection starting in 2021 increased nonresponse rates due to web respondents discontinuing the survey prior to completion (i.e., breaking off). To reduce the potential bias that would arise from handling missing data due to break-offs the same way that other missing data (i.e., responses of “don’t know” or “refused”) were handled in analyses (i.e., excluding missing data or zero-fill method), break-off analysis weights were created. These break-off analysis weights were used for a subset of unimputed measures that were derived from questions asked later in the survey.

Relatively few youths aged 12 to 17 broke off the interview after the youth experiences section. Therefore, a break-off adjustment was not performed for youths aged 12 to 17. Nevertheless, a break-off weight was created for youths for use in analyses for people aged 12 or older that required the break-off analysis weight. For these analyses, the break-off weight that was created for youths was the same as the main weight. For more information on the analysis weights, see the 2023 Methodological Summary and Definitions report.

Changes and Impact

NSDUH has undergone changes over the years to improve the quality of its data and to address the changing needs of policymakers and researchers with regard to substance use and mental health issues. Information pertaining to some of the major changes for the 2023 NSDUH are summarized below. For more information on the revisions summarized below as well as other revisions to the survey including imputed measures, see the 2023 Methodological Summary and Definitions report.

Marijuana Use

The marijuana section of the 2023 NSDUH questionnaire included questions to assess the ways that people used marijuana in the past year or past month. In addition to mode questions in the marijuana section, questions about marijuana vaping remained in the emerging issues section of the 2023 questionnaire. However, data for marijuana vaping from the emerging issues section were not used in creating the 2023 marijuana use or marijuana vaping estimates in the 2023 Detailed Tables.

For the 2023 NSDUH, all variables for modes of marijuana use were statistically imputed and do not have missing data. This situation differed from 2022 when the variables were imputed only for vaping marijuana in the past year and past month. Because the entire set of variables for modes of marijuana use were imputed, the imputation methods were changed for 2023. These revised methods were also applied to produce imputed variables for all modes of marijuana use for 2022, including revised marijuana vaping variables. Therefore, the marijuana vaping estimates for 2022 in the 2023 Detailed Tables may differ from previously published estimates. In addition, 2022 estimates for other modes of marijuana use in the 2023 Detailed Tables may differ from previously published estimates because the variables no longer had missing data.

Substance Use Treatment

During data processing for the 2023 Detailed Tables, a data quality improvement was implemented for one substance use treatment variable. This variable classifies respondents who did not seek substance use treatment but thought they should get treatment in the past year. This improvement was retroactively applied to the 2022 data; therefore, the 2022 estimates presented in the 2023 Detailed Tables may differ from previously published estimates. This coding improvement had little impact on the estimates.

Changes to Standard Error Estimates

As with previous detailed tables, a “mixed-method” approach for calculating standard errors was implemented in the 2023 Detailed Tables. An alternative method for estimating the standard error for the total number of individuals is applied to a select subset of domains whose size estimates are forced to match their respective U.S. Census Bureau or American Community Survey population estimates through the weight calibration process. The standard errors for all other domains are calculated directly in SUDAAN®.5 For more information on calculating standard errors in the detailed tables and this alternative method, see the 2023 Methodological Summary and Definitions report.

In Tables 7.12 and 7.13 within the 2022 Detailed Tables, the alternative standard error estimation method was inadvertently applied to the following categories: total, sex, not Hispanic or Latino, Hispanic or Latino, and region. For these tables, the standard errors should have been calculated directly in SUDAAN. In the 2023 Detailed Tables, standard errors were calculated accordingly for the corresponding tables (7.16 and 7.17); therefore, standard errors of the 2022 total estimates for the listed categories may differ from those presented in the 2022 Detailed Tables.

Table Presentation

The 2023 Detailed Tables present estimates from the 2022 and 2023 NSDUHs. The following sections provide information on how the tables are organized, the types and purpose of tables that are available, information about specific indicators used for the tables, information on missingness, information on the impact of rounding on estimates presented in the tables, and how totals are to be interpreted within the tables.

Table Numbering

The detailed tables are numbered using a three-part numbering scheme (e.g., 1.15A). The first part of the table number (1.15A) is the subject matter section to which a particular table belongs. The second part (1.15A) is the number of the table within a particular section. The third part (1.15A) is a table type indicator, an alphabetic letter appended to the table number. Each table number, as explained below, has multiple table types. Tables are numbered sequentially within each subject matter section. Identical tables across years may not be assigned the same table number each year.

The nine subject matter sections and the number of tables per section in 2023 are as follows:

Section 1: Illicit Drug Use/Misuse Tables – 1.1 to 1.134

Section 2: Tobacco Product Use, Nicotine Vaping, and Alcohol Use Tables – 2.1 to 2.47

Section 3: Risk and Protective Factor Tables – 3.1 to 3.18

Section 4: Incidence Tables – 4.1 to 4.11

Section 5: Substance Use Disorder and Treatment Tables – 5.1 to 5.35

Section 6: Adult Mental Health Tables – 6.1 to 6.87

Section 7: Youth Mental Health Tables – 7.1 to 7.40

Section 8: Miscellaneous Tables – 8.1 to 8.43

Section 9: Sample Size and Population Tables – 9.1 to 9.8

Table Types and Purpose

The table type indicators are primarily defined as follows:

Table Type Purpose of the Table
A Presents estimates of the numbers of people exhibiting the specified behavior or characteristic (e.g., substance use) in the populations described by the column and row headings.
B Presents estimates of the percentages of people exhibiting the specified behavior or characteristic (e.g., substance use) in the populations described by the column and row headings.
C Presents the standard error associated with each of the estimates in the “A” tables.
D Presents the standard error associated with each of the percentages in the “B” tables.
N Presents the number of cases in the specified NSDUH sample with the characteristics defined by the column and row headings.
P Presents the p values from tests of the statistical significance of differences between columns in the “B” tables.

Most tables within the detailed tables consist of five table types (A, B, C, D, and P) as defined above. Table type N is used exclusively within Section 9 to display the sample size counts. Exceptions to this organization are noted as follows:

Exceptions Applicable Table Numbers
Table type A contains both numbers and
percentages where the percentages are
repeated in the B tables.

Section 1: Tables 1.110 to 1.134

Section 5: Table 5.32

Section 8: Table 8.6

Only table types B, D, and P are produced.

Section 4: Tables 4.1 to 4.9, and 4.11

Section 8: Tables 8.1 and 8.2

Only table types A and C are produced. Section 4: Table 4.10
Only table types A, C, and N are produced. Section 9: Tables 9.1 to 9.8

Table Indicators

Each 2023 detailed table, including those for all of the above table types, contains the following definitional footnote, regardless of whether any or all of the indicators were used in the table:

* = low precision; -- = not available or not comparable due to methodological changes;
da = does not apply; nr = not reported due to measurement issues.

The “* = low precision” portion of the footnote indicates an estimate is being suppressed (i.e., not shown) due to low precision. For more information on how low precision is defined, see Section 3.2.2 of the 2023 Methodological Summary and Definitions report.

The “-- = not available or not comparable due to methodological changes” portion of the footnote indicates that for the given year, either the questions used to produce the estimates were not available or the measures exist for prior years but are no longer comparable with the current year estimate. For example, information about past year use of pipe tobacco is not collected. Thus, estimates for past year pipe tobacco use are shown with the “--” notation.

The “da = does not apply” portion of the footnote indicates that the question or estimate does not apply to a certain group. For example, in the incidence tables that show numbers in thousands and percentages in the same table, the p values for the numbers in thousands are replaced with “da” because the detailed tables show only p values of tests of differences of percentages.

The “nr = not reported due to measurement issues” portion of the footnote indicates that the estimate could be calculated based on available data but is not calculated due to potential measurement issues. For example, lifetime use of prescription pain relievers is shown as “nr” because the questionnaire was changed to focus on past year misuse of pain relievers rather than lifetime use of pain relievers, and there appears to be an underestimate of lifetime pain reliever use compared with prior years.

Rounding and Estimate Presentation

Rounding and presentation of unsuppressed prevalence estimates and totals are as follows:

Table Type Rounding and Estimate Presentation
A

Total estimates are rounded to the nearest thousand.

Estimated numbers in thousands less than 500 are shown as “<1” in tables.

Estimated numbers in thousands greater than or equal to 500 but less than 1,000 are shown as “1” in tables despite being less than 1,000.

B

Prevalence estimates are rounded to the nearest tenth.

Estimated percentages less than 0.05 are shown as “<0.1” in tables.

Estimated percentages greater than or equal to 0.05 but less than 0.1 are shown as “0.1” in tables despite being less than 0.1.

C

Standard errors of total estimates are rounded to the nearest thousand.

Estimated standard errors of numbers in thousands less than 500 are shown as “<1” in tables.

Estimated standard errors of numbers in thousands greater than or equal to 500 but less than 1,000 are shown as “1” in tables despite being less than 1,000.6

D

Standard errors of prevalence estimates are rounded to the nearest hundredth.

Estimated standard errors of percentages less than 0.005 are shown as “<0.01” in tables.

Estimated standard errors of percentages greater than or equal to 0.005 but less than 0.01 are shown as “0.01” in tables despite being less than 0.01.

N

Sample sizes are rounded to the nearest 10.

Sample sizes less than 100, are shown as “<100” in tables.

P P values for the test of differences between prevalence estimates are rounded to the nearest ten thousandth.

Definitions of Totals

Totals are defined in different ways within the detailed tables. Totals can refer to the estimated number of people with a specific characteristic, as shown in table type A and displayed in numbers of thousands. For example, in Table 2.1, the total estimated population of youths aged 12 to 17 who used cigarettes in the past year in 2023 was approximately 895,000 and was shown as 895. Totals can also be presented in the table rows or columns, either as a total of a subgroup category or listed as the “Total Population.” If the estimate is a total of a subgroup category (e.g., total of sex), the estimate is the total number of both males and females combined. Instances where measures have missing data may cause the subcategories to not add up to a total and are noted in the tables. If the estimate is shown as the “Total Population” on the row, then that estimate is usually included as a reference. This total population estimate is normally the number being used in the denominator to allow users to easily see that estimate without having to switch tables. For example, in Table 6.17, the total population row for table type A shows the estimated number of people who fit the criteria in the columns, which are the column denominators (i.e., there was an estimated 58,657,000 adults with past year any mental illness for 2023), and this number is used as the denominator in all the 2023 substance use disorder severity estimates.

Reference Tools

Reference tools are provided to help users navigate the Results from the 2023 National Survey on Drug Use and Health: Detailed Tables and to define the topics presented in the tables. These tools can be used independently or in conjunction with one another for table navigation. The tools provided with the 2023 Detailed Tables are described in Table 1. As shown in Table 1, select tools include hyperlinks that lead directly to the detailed tables for easy reference. This document summarizes the organization of the detailed tables and provides information on the measures and terms used in them, followed by table navigation examples.

Table 1. Reference Tool Summary
Reference Tool Description Hyperlinks to the Detailed Tables
Table of Contents (TOC) Provides an overview of the contents and organization of the detailed tables with links to tables (by subject matter and table type) and to the introduction and reference tools. Yes
Search Feature Allows users to enter a keyword or short phrase in a search box to return a list of specific detailed tables that contain that term, including links to those tables (by table type). Yes
Appendix A: Glossary Defines and cross-references commonly used measures and terms in the 2023 Detailed Tables. For some key terms, specific question wording is provided for clarity. Not all measures and terms listed in the glossary are specifically mentioned in the TOC. No

Table Organization Summary

The detailed tables are organized by table type:

The table types are grouped into two categories:

Both categories of tables include 9 subject matter sections:

Refer to the Table Presentation section of the Introduction for more details about the table types, including some exceptions to the primary table types.

Measures and Terms Used in the Tables

A glossary is included with the detailed tables to provide more information about the measures and terms used in the tables. The glossary (Appendix A) can be used to determine how commonly used measures and terms are defined in the 2023 Detailed Tables and what other related topics are available. Where relevant, cross-references to additional details in the 2023 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH): Methodological Summary and Definitions report are provided (Center for Behavioral Health Statistics and Quality, 2024).1 The glossary may also be helpful when used in conjunction with the Table of Contents (TOC), the List of Tables (LOT), and the search feature in identifying tables that contain information for a topic of interest.

For example, a user who has identified tables of interest (e.g., Tables 1.23 to 1.68) and would like more information about a topic included in those tables (e.g., race) can look up that topic (e.g., race) or the categories displayed for that topic (e.g., NHOPI, Two or More Races, Hispanic or Latino) in the glossary to obtain more information. Alternatively, a user interested in tables that present information about the prevalence of alcohol use measures can first review the “Alcohol Use” entry in the glossary. By looking up “Alcohol Use” in the glossary, a user will find information about how alcohol use is defined, the alcohol use questions, and related measures (i.e., Binge Use of Alcohol, Current Use or Misuse, Heavy Use of Alcohol, Lifetime Use or Misuse, Past Month Use or Misuse, Past Year Use or Misuse, Recency of Use or Misuse, and Underage Alcohol Use). The related measures provide the time periods shown for the “Alcohol Use” measure, as well as other types of alcohol use measures. After reviewing the definitions for the various available measures, the user can determine measures of interest and use the TOC, LOT, or search feature to identify tables that contain the selected measures.

Table Navigation Examples

Using the TOC

The TOC can be used to identify groups of tables in each of the 9 subject matter sections in the 2023 Detailed Tables. A user can click on the links and be taken directly to the first table in the specified group.

For example, a user interested in information about the prevalence of illicit drug use by age can first review the TOC and see that tables pertaining to illicit drug use can be found in Section 1: Illicit Drug Use/Misuse Tables. Scanning through Section 1 of the TOC, the user can see that data on the prevalence of illicit drug use by standard age categories are provided in Tables 1.1 to 1.5. To access the detailed tables of interest, the user can click on “PE” in the TOC to open Tables 1.1A, which is the first prevalence estimate table available for this table number. Clicking on “SE” will open Table 1.1C, which is the first standard error table available for this table number.

Using the Search Feature

For the 2023 Detailed Tables, a robust search feature is available to help users navigate particular tables. When a keyword or short phrase is entered in the search box, the search returns a list of the tables that contain that term, including links to those tables (by table type). This search is operational from within the TOC, the combined HTML file of the detailed tables, and individual HTML tables or table sections.

Using the LOT

The LOT can be used to identify a specific table in the subject matter sections listed previously. For each table in a section, the LOT provides the table number, table type indicators, and a condensed version of the table title. To reduce redundancy, the portion of the actual table title that describes the table type is omitted. At the top of the LOT, the five table types are defined for easy reference. An example of a condensed table title is shown as follows.

Table 1.1 (A, B, C, D, P) Types of Illicit Drug Use in Lifetime, Past Year, and Past Month: Among People Aged 12 or Older (2022 and 2023)

For the LOT, a user can click on any of the table type indicators included in the parentheses to go to the specified table part (A, B, C, D, N, or P) for that table number.

For example, a user interested in information about the prevalence of past month alcohol use among people aged 12 to 20 by demographic characteristics can review the LOT in Section 2: Tobacco Product Use, Nicotine Vaping, and Alcohol Use Tables and identify Table 2.44 and Table 2.45 as the tables of interest. A user can click on the “A” in the parentheses after either of these table numbers to go to the numbers in thousands tables and click on the “B” to go to the percentage tables.
