2007 Drug Abuse Warning Network Data Now Available for Download Through SAMHDA
The Drug Abuse Warning Network (DAWN), one of three major surveys conducted by SAMHSA's Center for Behavioral Health Statistics and Quality, is a public health surveillance system that monitors hospital drug-related emergency department (ED) visits and drug-related deaths reported by selected medical examiner and coroner offices across the country.

DAWN is used to:

• Examine trends in drug misuse and abuse.
• Identify the emergence of new substances and drug combinations.
• Assess health hazards associated with drug abuse.
• Estimate the impact of drug misuse and abuse on health care in the Nation.

Any ED visit related to recent drug use is included in DAWN, and all types of drugs (licit and illicit) are covered, including all alcohol involvement in patients under age 21 and alcohol involvement in combination with other substances in those age 21 and older.

SAMHDA also provides public-use data files for the 2008 DAWN and 2009 DAWN. SAMHSA is planning to release DAWN data for 2004 to 2006 in the upcoming months. Detailed data tables and publications using data collected by DAWN are also available on the DAWN page at the SAMHSA website.
