Another important survey conducted by the United States HHS is the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA). This survey is conducted in the homes of teens, rather than in school. Currently, the NHSDA survey is taken via a computer survey for drug-related questions. Though there are some inherent limitations in its methodology, as compared to the MTF survey and others not conducted in-home where teens might be timid to reply truthfully, NHSDA is considered to be a very reliable study and its results highly representative of actual drug use. The NHSDA was conducted periodically from 1971 and annually since 1990.

Analysis of countries which have conducted both school surveys and national household surveys shows that there is, in general, a positive correlation between the two variables, particularly for cannabis, ATS and cocaine. The correlation, however, is weaker than that of lifetime and annual prevalence or current use and annual prevalence among the general population but stronger than the correlation between opiate use and IDU-related HIV cases and, stronger than the link between treatment and drug use.

Lifetime use of benzodiazepines has decreased slighty over the years, but this reduction has been minimal. According to the results from an annual survey done by SAMSHA (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, of the United States Department of Health), use of tranquilizers or benzodiazepines has decreased. Data from SAMSHA s 2000 National Household Survey on Drug Abuse shows that in persons aged 18-25, lifetime use of tranquilizers decreased from 7.9% in 1999 to 7.4% in 2000. Past year usage of tranquilizers in this age group also decreased, from 3.1% in 1999, to 3.0% in 2000. Finally, past month usage of tranquilizers in the 18 to 25-year-old respondents to the survey decreased, from 1.1% in 1999, to 1.0% in 2000.
