Grant et al12 (2006) compared NESARC-I findings for past-year AUDs with data collected a decade earlier in the 1991–1992 National Longitudinal Alcohol Epidemiological Survey (NLAES, N = 42,862), a nationally representative sample of adults also conducted by NIAAA. Rank order among ethnic groups remained the same in these studies, with similar increases in past-year DSM-IV abuse in Whites (3.3% to 5.1%), Hispanics (2.5% to 3.9%), and Blacks (1.5% to 3.3%), but only significant decreases in dependence in Whites (4.4% to 3.8%), not in Hispanics (5.8% to 4.0%) or Blacks (3.8% to 3.6%). The ethnic group rank order is slightly different from data from the National Household Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH, formerly the National Household Survey on Drug Abuse, NHSDA), which is series of cross-sectional annual surveys conducted by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration on approximately 70,000 12+ year-old individuals each year. In the 2008 NSDUH survey, past-year DSM-IV AUD was 8.0% in Hispanics, 7.5% in Whites, and 6.6% in Blacks, with almost no change in past-year DSM-IV AUDs found in NSDUH total sample from
