More than 18 million children in U.S. live with parent with a SUD

Abstract

More than 18 million children in the United States have a parent with a substance use disorder (SUD). The study, based on the 2023 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), is by Sean Esteban McCabe, Ph.D. and colleagues. The authors are with the University of Michigan Center for the Study of Drugs, Alcohol, Smoking, and Health. (The Trump Administration fired all staffers at NSDUH in March, so this kind of information will no longer be available.)
