The study is designed to look at how generation position, assimilation, and acculturation processes affect mental disorders and substance use and abuse within and across African American and Afro-Caribbean families and individuals. The supplement adds significant minutes to the existing study in order to collect data on substance use, abuse and dependence; and to conduct cross-ethnic/intra-racial analyses on African American, Afro-Caribbean and non-Hispanic white respondents and three generation family triads in the United States and the Caribbean, and other parts of the black geographical Diaspora (e.g. England, Canada, etc.).
