NOTE: Some 2010(Old) estimates may differ from previously published estimates due to updates (see Section B.3 in Appendix B of the Results from the 2011 National Survey on Drug Use and Health: National Findings).
NOTE: The 2010(Old) and 2010(New) estimates were generated using different analysis weights. The weights were poststratified using population estimates based on the 2000 census for 2010(Old) and on the 2010 census for 2010(New).
NOTE: Census effect is defined as [2011 − 2010(Old)] − [2011 − 2010(New)] = 2010(New) − 2010(Old). Relative census effect is defined by dividing the census effect by [2011 − 2010(New)].

1 Illicit Drugs include marijuana/hashish, cocaine (including crack), heroin, hallucinogens, inhalants, or prescription-type psychotherapeutics used nonmedically. Illicit Drugs Other Than Marijuana include cocaine (including crack), heroin, hallucinogens, inhalants, or prescription-type psychotherapeutics used nonmedically. The estimates for Nonmedical Use of Psychotherapeutics, Stimulants, and Methamphetamine incorporated in these summary estimates do not include data from new methamphetamine items added in 2005 and 2006. See Section B.4.8 in Appendix B of the Results from the 2008 National Survey on Drug Use and Health: National Findings.
2 Nonmedical use of prescription-type psychotherapeutics includes the nonmedical use of pain relievers, tranquilizers, stimulants, or sedatives and does not include over-the-counter drugs.
3 Estimates of Nonmedical Use of Psychotherapeutics, Stimulants, and Methamphetamine in the designated rows include data from new methamphetamine items added in 2005 and 2006 and are not comparable with estimates presented in NSDUH reports prior to the 2007 National Findings report.

NOTE: Some 2010(Old) estimates may differ from previously published estimates due to updates (see Section B.3 in Appendix B of the Results from the 2011 National Survey on Drug Use and Health: National Findings).
NOTE: The 2010(Old) and 2010(New) estimates were generated using different analysis weights. The weights were poststratified using population estimates based on the 2000 census for 2010(Old) and on the 2010 census for 2010(New).
NOTE: Census effect is defined as [2011 − 2010(Old)] − [2011 − 2010(New)] = 2010(New) − 2010(Old). Relative census effect is defined by dividing the census effect by [2011 − 2010(New)].

NOTE: Heavy Alcohol Use is defined as drinking five or more drinks on the same occasion on each of 5 or more days in the past 30 days; all heavy alcohol users are also binge alcohol users.
NOTE: The 2010(Old) and 2010(New) estimates were generated using different analysis weights. The weights were poststratified using population estimates based on the 2000 census for 2010(Old) and on the 2010 census for 2010(New).
NOTE: Census effect is defined as [2011 − 2010(Old)] − [2011 − 2010(New)] = 2010(New) − 2010(Old). Relative census effect is defined by dividing the census effect by [2011 − 2010(New)].

NOTE: Some 2010(Old) estimates may differ from previously published estimates due to updates (see Section B.3 in Appendix B of the Results from the 2011 National Survey on Drug Use and Health: National Findings).
NOTE: Heavy Alcohol Use is defined as drinking five or more drinks on the same occasion on each of 5 or more days in the past 30 days; all heavy alcohol users are also binge alcohol users.
NOTE: The 2010(Old) and 2010(New) estimates were generated using different analysis weights. The weights were poststratified using population estimates based on the 2000 census for 2010(Old) and on the 2010 census for 2010(New).
NOTE: Census effect is defined as [2011 − 2010(Old)] − [2011 − 2010(New)] = 2010(New) − 2010(Old). Relative census effect is defined by dividing the census effect by [2011 − 2010(New)].

*Low precision; no estimate reported.
NOTE: Some 2010(Old) estimates may differ from previously published estimates due to updates (see Section B.3 in Appendix B of the Results from the 2011 National Survey on Drug Use and Health: National Findings).
NOTE: Past Year Initiates are defined as persons who used the substance(s) for the first time in the 12 months prior to date of interview.
NOTE: The 2010(Old) and 2010(New) estimates were generated using different analysis weights. The weights were poststratified using population estimates based on the 2000 census for 2010(Old) and on the 2010 census for 2010(New).
NOTE: Census effect is defined as [2011 − 2010(Old)] − [2011 − 2010(New)] = 2010(New) − 2010(Old). Relative census effect is defined by dividing the census effect by [2011 − 2010(New)].
