The enhanced Substance Abuse and Mental Health Data Archive (SAMHDA) has launched a new section of its website, the Restricted-use Data Analysis System (RDAS). Like the publicly accessible Public-use Data Analysis System, RDAS is a user-friendly application for online analyses to create and output crosstabs and perform logistic regression from your web browser. Only data from the National Survey on Drug Use and Health are available in this initial release. Because RDAS data are restricted, all results returned will comply with SAMHSA's disclosure limitations.
