7.1 Phase I SDU-<strong>Level</strong> Weight Components<br />
A total of 10 weight components for the SDU level correspond to selection probabilities<br />
<strong>and</strong> nonresponse, poststratification, <strong>and</strong> extreme value adjustment factors. Note that this differs<br />
from previous NHSDAs <strong>and</strong> NSDUHs in that a new design-based component was incorporated<br />
at the beginning of the process so that corresponding weight component numbers are<br />
incremented by one when compared to previous survey years with an otherwise similar<br />
weighting scheme. The first seven components in the Phase I sample weights reflect the<br />
probability of selecting the DUs. These components were derived from (1) the probability of<br />
selecting the census tract within each State sampling (SS) region, (2) the probability of selecting<br />
the geographic segment within each SS region, (3) a quarter segment weight adjustment, (4) a<br />
subsegmentation inflation factor, (5) the probability of selecting a DU from within each counted<br />
<strong>and</strong> listed sampled segment, (6) the probability of inclusion of added DUs, <strong>and</strong> (7) DU percent<br />
release adjustment. The three remaining weight components, #8 through #10, are GEM<br />
calibration adjustments accounting for (8) DU nonresponse at the screening level, (9) DU<br />
poststratification to census controls, <strong>and</strong> (10) DU-level extreme value adjustment, although in<br />
2006 extreme value adjustment at this stage was deemed unnecessary, <strong>and</strong> thus Weight<br />
Component #10 was set to one for all respondent DUs. The person-level, QDU-level, <strong>and</strong> person<br />
pair-level weights use the product of the above 10 weight components as the common initial<br />
weight before further adjustments. For more detailed information on Weight Components #1, #2,<br />
<strong>and</strong> #4 through #7, refer to the 2006 NSDUH sample design report (Morton et al., 2007), <strong>and</strong> for<br />
more detail on Weight Components #3 <strong>and</strong> #8 through #10, see the 2006 person-level sampling<br />
weight calibration report (Chen et al., 2008).<br />
