National Household Survey on Drug Abuse, 1990

This series measures the prevalence and correlates of drug
use in the United States. The surveys are designed to provide
quarterly, as well as annual, estimates. Information is provided on
the use of illicit drugs, alcohol, anabolic steroids, and tobacco
among members of United States households aged 12 and older. Questions
include age at first use, as well as lifetime, annual, and past-month
usage for the following drug classes: marijuana, inhalants, cocaine,
hallucinogens, heroin, alcohol, tobacco, and nonmedical use of
psychotherapeutics. Respondents were also asked about problems
resulting from their use of drugs, alcohol, and tobacco, their
perceptions of the risks involved, insurance coverage, and personal
and family income sources and amounts. Demographic data include
gender, race, ethnicity, educational level, job status, income level,
household composition, and population density.
