NSDUH 2021 Person Level Sampling Weight Report

Description

Learn about the techniques used to create weights for the 2021 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) at the person level. The report reviews the generalized exponential model (GEM) used in weighting, discusses potential predictor variables, and details the practical steps used to implement GEM. The report also details the weight calibrations, and presents the evaluation measures of the calibrations, as well as a sensitivity analysis.Chapters:Introduces the survey and the remainder of the report.Reviews the impact of multimode data collection on weighting.Briefly describes of the generalized exponential model.Describes the predictor variables for the model calibration.Defines extreme weights.Discusses control totals for poststratification adjustments.Discusses weight calibration at the dwelling unit level.Discusses weight calibration at the person level.Presents the evaluation measures of calibrated weights and a sensitivity analysis of selected prevalence estimates.Explains the break-off analysis weights.Explains the alternative analysis weights.Appendices include technical details about the model and the evaluations that were performed.
