LSD = lysergic acid diethylamide; MDE = major depressive episode; n/d = not defined when the estimate is zero; PUF = public use file, which refers to estimates produced from a NSDUH public use file (a PUF is a NSDUH restricted-use file that has undergone statistical disclosure limitation treatment); RSE = relative standard error; RUF = restricted-use file, which refers to estimates produced from a NSDUH RUF and published in NSDUH’s mental health detailed tables available at http://www​.samhsa.gov/data/; SE = standard error.

1

RUF sample sizes were rounded to the nearest 100 for confidentiality protection.

2

Ratio of Estimates = PUF Estimate ÷ RUF Estimate.

3

Ratio of SEs = PUF SE ÷ RUF SE.
