* = low precision; -- = not available; da = does not apply; nc = not comparable due to methodological changes; nr = not reported due to measurement issues.
NOTE: Some 2006 to 2010 estimates may differ from previously published estimates due to updates (see Section 3.3.5 in Chapter 3 of the 2018 National Survey on Drug Use and Health: Methodological Summary and Definitions).
NOTE: Mental health services for persons aged 12 to 17 includes treatment/counseling for emotional or behavioral problems not caused by drug or alcohol use. Respondents with unknown mental health service information were excluded.
NOTE: Respondents could indicate multiple service settings; thus, the response categories are not mutually exclusive.a The difference between this estimate and the 2018 estimate is statistically significant at the .05 level. Rounding may make the estimates appear identical.1 Because of revisions in 2013 to Specialty Mental Health Service estimates, these 2002 to 2012 estimates may differ from estimates published prior to the 2013 NSDUH.2 Because of revisions in 2009 to the questions on the Source of Youth Mental Health Education Services, these estimates are not comparable with the education services estimates published prior to the 2009 NSDUH.3 Respondents who did not report their school enrollment status, who reported not being enrolled in school in the past 12 months, or who reported being home-schooled were not asked about receipt of mental health services from this setting; however, respondents who reported not being enrolled in school in the past 12 months were classified as not having received treatment/counseling from this setting.
