* = low precision; LSD = lysergic acid diethylamide; nc = not comparable due to methodological changes; nr = not reported due to measurement issues; PCP = phencyclidine.
NOTE: Estimates shown are numbers in thousands with standard errors included in parentheses.
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: Additional estimates may be found in the detailed tables for the 2020 NSDUH at https://www.samhsa.gov/data/. Measures and terms are defined in Appendix A of the 2020 detailed tables.

NOTE: Substance use disorder (SUD) estimates in 2020 are based on criteria from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th edition. SUD and related estimates are not comparable between 2020
and prior years of NSDUH because prior years’ estimates were based on criteria from the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th edition. The 2020 estimates reflect additional
methodological changes for the 2020 NSDUH. Due to these changes, estimates are shown for 2020 only. See the 2020 National Survey on Drug Use and Health: Methodological Summary and Definitions for
details on these changes.
NOTE: Additional estimates may be found in the detailed tables for the 2020 NSDUH at https://www.samhsa.gov/data/. Measures and terms are defined in Appendix A of the 2020 detailed tables.
NOTE: Estimates of 0.0 percent round to less than 0.1 percent when shown to the nearest tenth of a percent.

1 Impairment is based on the Sheehan Disability Scale role domains, which measure the impact of a disorder on an adolescent’s life. Impairment is defined as the highest severity level of role impairment across four
domains: (1) chores at home, (2) school or work, (3) close relationships with family, and (4) social life. Ratings ≥ 7 on a 0 to 10 scale were considered Severe Impairment. Respondents with unknown impairment data
were excluded.
