National Survey of Alcohol, Drug, and Mental Health Problems [Healthcare for Communities], 2000-2001

This survey (HCC2) is a component of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation's Health Tracking Initiative, an initiative designed to track changes in the the American health care system and their effects.
