• Description:
  This document describes the National Hospital Care Survey (NHCS) Stimulant Use Dataset, which was generated by applying the National Center for Health Statistics' (NCHS) Stimulant Algorithm to the 2020 -2021 NHCS data. The Stimulant Algorithm was developed with funding from the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation, Office of the Secretary - Patient Centered Outcomes Research Trust Fund. The resulting dataset provides contextual information on patients' hospital encounters with documented evidence of stimulant use, and to a limited extent, opioid use in health records. The Stimulant Use Dataset is available through the NCHS Research Data Center (RDC) (1). The complete NHCS database is also available through the RDC and can be merged with the Stimulant Use Dataset for detailed analysis for the 2020 - 2021 data years.
