Analyzes racial/ethnic patterns of substance use in the U.S. using a more detailed classification of race/ethnicity than has been possible in previous reports that used the Nat. Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA). It combines data from 3 large nat. surveys, the Ô91, Ô92, and Ô93 NHSDAs, to estimate the prevalence of substance use, alcohol dependence, and need for illicit drug abuse treatment within 11 racial/ethnic subgroups: Native Amer., Asian/Pacific Islanders, non-Hispanic blacks, non-Hispanic whites, and 7 Hispanic subgroups: Caribbeans, Cubans, Mexicans, Central Amer., Puerto Ricans, South Amer., and other Hispanics.
