U.S. national and state estimates of children living with parents using substances, 2015– 2019
In an average year from 2015–2019, more than 21 million children in the United States lived with a parent who misused substances, and more than 2 million lived with a parent who had a substance use disorder (SUD). Living with a parent who had a SUD varied by child age, race, ethnicity, and urbanicity. Children younger than 12 had a higher likelihood of living with parents with SUD than children 12 and older. States varied in the number and percentage of children living with parents who had a SUD. States ranged from less than one percent of children (Nebraska) to nearly five percent (Maine).
