Treatment Episode Data Set (TEDS) - Concatenated, 1992 to Present

The TEDS Concatenated data set is now available for download. It remains available for online analysis via Survey Documentation and Analysis (SDA), and Quick Tables. Please note that due to the extremely large size of the data file (almost 28 million records) the Stata and SAS setup files were unable to be produced. Downloaded formats include SPSS and SAS system, ASCII text , and SPSS setup files.

2007 Treatment Episode Data Set - Admissions (TEDS-A)

The TEDS Admissions series will now be titled Treatment Episode Data Set - Admissions (TEDS-A) to distinguish it from the soon-to-be-released Treatment Episode Data Set - Discharges (TEDS-D) Series.

The data and documentation files for the 2007 TEDS-A are available for download and online analysis on Survey Documentation and Analysis (SDA). Quick Tables are also available.

Ongoing

  • You may now order the SAMHDA brochure.

  • We welcome the submission of citations based on SAMHDA or ICPSR data; just email them to bibliography@icpsr.umich.edu.

  • We appreciate the appropriate citation for analyses using data obtained from SAMHDA. Each SAMHDA study description and codebook includes a suggested bibliographic citation for the data.

  • You can now conduct specific variable searches on our Web site for all studies on the online Survey Documentation and Analysis (SDA) system. This utility will search the question text and variable and value labels for thousands of variables at once. This is helpful for finding specific variables (e.g., for studies with large numbers of variables or when you don't know which studies included a variable you need) and question wording (e.g., for comparisons across studies).

    The Variable Search form is located at the top of every SAMHDA page.
