DESCRIPTION: Economic costs of alcoholism and alcohol abuse were $85.8 billion in 1990, 40 percent attributable to lost productivity. Few studies have examined the costs of women's drinking separately, even through there are gender differences in labor fore participation and time spent in household related activities including child care. Further, the impact of women's drinking on the family and on children is likely to be different, if not greater, than for male drinking. Moreover, despite the growing body of research on the etiology and epidemiology of women's drinking, relatively little is known about how economic influences such as income, price of alcohol, regulation (including licensing and number of outlets), and policy decisions (including treatment availability) impact women's consumption and abuse of alcohol. The proposed research will extend our understanding of the special circumstances facing young adult women (aged 17-31) and how they respond to these. The proposed research will examine the course of a alcohol use/abuse in young adult women and relationships to economic regulatory and policy factors; assess the impact of alcohol use/abuse on household and family roles including the health and behavior of children; and assess the impact of alcohol use/abuse on labor fore participation and productivity. The National Longitudinal Survey of Youth and Children of the NLSY data sets are used to examine changes in alcohol use/abuse over time for young adult women and to relate these changes to community regulatory and policy characteristics, family characteristics, characteristics of the women including biological, psychological and life cycle. Economic models of addiction and labor supply will be estimated for both men and women. The study will look at work place productivity as well as child care. Women drink less but are more susceptible to negative biologic sequelae of alcohol consumption, perhaps due to body water differences, in gastric alcohol dehydrogenase activity and first place metabolism. They are more vulnerable to hepatic and other alcohol related diseases such as gynecologic and reproductive problems. The investigators claim this will be the first study to employ economic models of addiction to focus on women's alcohol use and abuse. It will look at job related productivity measures to include not only employment and earning, but also duration of unemployment and job turnover. Estimation of reduced form equations will provide direct estimates of the relative effectiveness of policy relevant variables.

描述：酗酒和酗酒的经济成本为 85.8 美元 1990 年损失了 10 亿美元，其中 40% 归因于生产力的损失。很少有研究 单独研究了女性饮酒的成本，即使在那里 劳动参与率和花在劳动时间上的性别差异 与家庭相关的活动，包括儿童保育。此外，影响 女性饮酒对家庭和孩子的影响可能不同， 如果不大于男性饮酒量。而且，尽管身体在不断增长 女性饮酒的病因学和流行病学研究， 人们对收入等经济影响的了解相对较少， 酒类价格、监管（包括许可和销售点数量）、 和政策决定（包括治疗的可获得性）影响妇女的 饮酒和滥用酒精。 拟议的研究将扩展我们对特殊情况的理解 年轻成年女性（17-31 岁）面临的情况以及她们的反应 对这些。拟议的研究将检查酒精的过程 年轻成年妇女的使用/虐待及其与经济监管的关系 和政策因素；评估饮酒/滥用酒精对家庭的影响 和家庭角色，包括儿童的健康和行为；并评估 饮酒/滥用酒精对劳动力参与的影响和 生产率。 NLSY 数据的全国青少年和儿童纵向调查 套件用于检查年轻人酒精使用/滥用随时间的变化 成年妇女并将这些变化与社区监管和政策联系起来 特征、家庭特征、女性特征 包括生物、心理和生命周期。经济模型 将对男性和女性的毒瘾和劳动力供应进行估计。 该研究将着眼于工作场所的生产力以及儿童保育。 女性饮酒较少，但更容易受到不良生物学后遗症的影响 饮酒，可能是由于体内水分的差异，在胃中 乙醇脱氢酶活性和第一代谢。他们更 容易患肝脏疾病和其他与酒精相关的疾病，例如 妇科和生殖问题。 研究人员声称这将是第一个利用经济学的研究 成瘾模型重点关注女性的酒精使用和滥用。它会 研究与工作相关的生产力指标，不仅包括就业 和收入，还包括失业持续时间和工作变动。 简化形式方程的估计将提供对 政策相关变量的相对有效性。
