Today, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) released the results of the 2024 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), which shows how people living in United States reported their experience with mental health conditions, substance use and pursuit of treatment. This year marks the first year since 2020 in which there are at least four years of comparable data for key NSDUH outcomes to enable reporting of trends.
“The annual NSDUH provides timely statistical information on substance use and mental health in the U.S.,” said SAMHSA Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary Dr. Art Kleinschmidt. “These data are incredibly valuable to researchers, clinicians, policymakers, and others, allowing for greater understanding of the nation’s behavioral health, and to help inform actions in support of President Trump’s vision to Make America Healthy Again.”
The 2024 NSDUH provides a national snapshot of behavioral health in the United States based on self-reported responses from nearly 70,000 people. In addition, the 2024 NSDUH marks the first year since 2020 in which there are at least four years of comparable data for key NSDUH outcomes, adjusting for survey design changes since 2020, enabling reporting of trends for the first time since 2019. The 2024 NSDUH report includes the following key findings.
