Project Description

Project Title:  View help for Project Title Drug Abuse Warning Network (DAWN)
Summary:  View help for Summary Legacy DAWN has data from 1997 through 2011 shared in public-use files (PUFs). These are full datasets treated with confidentiality protections. The PUF codebooks give more information on specific data treatments. Note, the codebooks may not contain all variables. This data used a longitudinal probability sample of hospitals in the United States. The PUFs contain information on emergency department (ED) visits related to substance use and misuse. This data can be used to track trends and understand the impact of substance use on healthcare. In 2018, DAWN was reestablished to use hospital-based and probability sample-based surveillance.
