State Estimates of Adult Mental Illness from the 2011 and 2012 National Surveys on Drug Use and Health.

摘要

This issue of The NSDUH Report presents State-level estimates of SMI based on data collected from approximately 92,400 adults aged 18 or older from the combined 2011 and 2012 National Surveys on Drug Use and Health (NSDUHs). Estimates are displayed in two tables and on two U.S. maps. In the tables, State estimates are listed alphabetically for easy reference. To produce the maps, State estimates shown to two decimal places were first rank ordered from lowest to highest and then divided into quintiles (fifths). States with the lowest estimates (i.e., the lowest fifth) are assigned to the bottom quintile and are shown in dark blue. States with the highest estimates are assigned to the top quintile and are shown in dark red. All other States are assigned to one of three quintiles between the lowest and highest quintiles. In some cases, a 'quintile' could have more or fewer States than desired because two (or more) States have the same estimate (to two decimal places). When such ties occurred at the 'boundary' between two quintiles, all States with the same estimate were assigned to the lower quintile. These estimates are the result of an expanded mental health questionnaire that has provided State estimates of various mental health indicators annually since 2008.
