will conduct a field test in October-December, 1997, to examine
alternative designs for an Audio Computer Assisted Self-Interview
(ACASI) version of the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse (NHSDA)
questionnaire. The experimental design will compare variations in skip
patterns, automatic internal consistency checks, number of chances to
report use of substance. The basic questionnaire content will be
identical to the 1997 NHSDA questionnaire. Approximately 2,300
interviews will be conducted with persons age 12 and older. A
standardized set of respondent debriefing questions will be
administered to the field test sample and to 750 respondents to the
ongoing 1997 NHSDA. The estimated response burden for the field test is
