State Estimates of Substance Use and Mental Health from the 2006-2007 National Surveys on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH)

This 2009 report provides state-by-state analyses of substance abuse and mental illness patterns. The report reveals that there are wide variations in the levels of problems like illicit drug use found among the states, but that every state suffers from these problems.

The report was developed by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration (SAMHSA) based on the 2006 and 2007 National Surveys on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH).

Using data drawn from interviews with 135,672 persons from throughout the country the report provides a state-by-state breakdown along 23 different measures of substance abuse and mental health problems including illicit drug use, binge drinking, alcohol and illicit drug dependence, tobacco use, serious psychological distress and major depressive episodes.
