"In 2022, 48.7 million people aged 12 or older (or 17.3 percent of the population) had an SUD in the past year, including 29.5 million who had an alcohol use disorder and 27.2 million who had a drug use disorder (Figures 31, 32, and 33 and Tables A.16B and A.17AB). Among the 29.5 million people with a past year alcohol use disorder, 21.5 million had an alcohol use disorder but not a drug use disorder. Among the 27.2 million people with a past year drug use disorder, 19.2 million had a drug use disorder but not an alcohol use disorder. Among people with a past year SUD, 16.5 percent (or 8.0 million people) had both an alcohol use disorder and a drug use disorder in the past year.
"The percentage of people in 2022 with a past year SUD differed by age group. The percentage was highest among young adults aged 18 to 25 (27.8 percent or 9.7 million people), followed by adults aged 26 or older (16.6 percent or 36.8 million people), then by adolescents aged 12 to 17 (8.7 percent or 2.2 million people) (Figure 33 and Table A.16B).
"By Race/Ethnicity
"Percentages of people aged 12 or older in 2022 with a past year SUD ranged from 9.0 percent of Asian people to 24.0 percent of American Indian or Alaska Native people (Figure 34 and Table B.14B). Except for Asian people, percentages did not differ significantly by race or ethnicity. The percentage of Asian people aged 12 or older in 2022 with a past year SUD was lower than the percentages among people in most other racial or ethnic groups. The percentage of people aged 12 or older in 2022 with a past year SUD could not be calculated with sufficient precision for Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander people.13"
