Data from the
2018 State Epidemiological Profile

Center for Drug and Health Studies on behalf of the
Strategic Prevention Framework – Partnerships for Success Project

2. 2018 Delaware State Epidemiological Profile
National Survey of Drug Use and Health Selected drug use in Delaware, by age group: percentages, annual averages based on NSDUH (in percentages) a
Notes:
a Estimates are based on a survey-weighted hierarchical Bayes estimation approach.
b Illicit Drugs include marijuana/hashish, cocaine (including crack), heroin, hallucinogens, inhalants, or prescription-type psychotherapeutics used nonmedically. Illicit Drugs Other Than Marijuana include cocaine (including crack), heroin, hallucinogens, inhalants, or prescription-type psychotherapeutics used nonmedically.
c Average annual rate = 100*{[X1 ÷ (0.5 * X1 + X2) ]÷2 }, where X1 is the number of marijuana initiates in past 24 months and X2 is the number of persons who never used marijuana. Both of the computation components, X1 and X2, are based on a survey-weighted hierarchical Bayes estimation approach. The age group is based on a respondent's age at the time of the interview, not his or her age at first use.
