Substance Use and Mental Disorders in the Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Marietta MSA. The NSDUH Report.

摘要

This report is one in a series of reports that provide snapshots of substance use and mental disorders in metropolitan areas across the United States. This report focuses on the Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA) of Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Marietta, GA. Data come from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), which collects information on the use of illegal drugs, alcohol, and tobacco, as well as on mental health problems from a representative sample of persons in the 50 States and the District of Columbia. Estimates presented are annual averages based on data collected during the 6-year period from 2005 to 2010. For comparison, this report includes estimates for the State of Georgia and for the entire United States. All differences between the MSA and the State or national estimates mentioned (i.e., statements using terms such as higher or lower) are statistically significant at the .05 level.
