Substance Abuse (Drugs & Alcohol)
“The issue of substance abuse is causing havoc in American lives, eating deep into our pockets, destroying our families and communities, ravaging the souls of our people and nation, and maiming our productive age and strength. HHS has been and continues to lead national efforts to track and combat this disease; like every other—using initiatives from Drug Warning Network (DAWN), the Drug and Alcohol Services Information System (DASIS), the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), the Monitoring the Future Survey (MTF), the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions (NESARC and the Youth Risk Behavior Survey (YRBS).
