¹⁰ The National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH) determined that respondents had severe psychological distress within the past year if they reported periods of intense nervousness, hopelessness, restlessness, depression, things required great effort or felt down on yourself, no good or worthless. The responses are scored (4=all the time, 3=most of the time, etc.) and summed. A worst total score was then created that takes on the maximum value of the past year distress score. Adults aged 18 or older are classified as having past year serious psychological distress if their score is 13 or greater. This cutoff point was chosen because it has been shown to be highly correlated with serious mental illness (Colpe, Epstein, Barker, & Gfroerer, 2009) and is the standard cutoff point used by other surveys.
