Despite considerable methodological and empirical developments in economic assessment of primary health care programs, economic evaluation techniques are not systematically adopted in studies of behavioral health care, especially addiction interventions. Compared to other health care areas, evaluation of addiction interventions is also particularly complex due to the diversity of delivery systems, the perplexity of the financing schemes, and the wide spectrum of social and economic outcomes. With the continuing need for more and improved economic evaluation findings for alcohol abuse services and interventions, the present project will address the following three broad aims: 1. Examine whether recently developed methods to estimate the economic costs and benefits of drug abuse services and interventions can be utilized in evaluation studies of alcohol abuse services and interventions; 2. Make any modifications and/or enhancements to customize these earlier developed methodologies and instruments for use in current studies of alcohol abuse services and interventions; 3. Test the practicality and scientific integrity of using these contemporary economic evaluation methods for alcohol abuse services and interventions by adding (or supplementing) an economic evaluation component to several NIAAA-funded services research and intervention projects in Arkansas, California, Florida, Illinois, New Mexico, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. The proposed study will complement and extend an existing research grant with the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), which focuses on developing and testing economic evaluation methods for drug abuse interventions, including the application of clinical and financial instruments in economic evaluation (e.g., ASI, DATCAP, TSR) (1R01 DA11506). Since the start of the grant in September 1998, various economic evaluation methods have been developed, empirically tested, and implemented. Presumably, most of the methods can be applied to alcohol abuse services and interventions as well. To provide an empirical laboratory for testing these methods, the investigative team for the proposed study has assembled an impressive group of NIAAA grantees that have offered access to outcome and other data from their current projects for the purposes of adding (or improving) an economic evaluation component to their research studies. Since the demand for economic evaluation studies of alcohol abuse services and interventions is increasing in the U.S. as well as abroad, the proposed study holds important potential to assist researchers, policymakers, and program directors with economic evaluation guidelines and "real world" applications.

尽管在初级卫生保健计划的经济评估中进行了可观的方法论和经验发展，但经济评估技术在行为保健的研究（尤其是成瘾的干预措施研究）中并未系统地采用。 与其他医疗保健领域相比，由于交付系统的多样性，融资计划的困惑以及广泛的社会和经济成果，对成瘾干预措施的评估也特别复杂。 随着对酗酒服务和干预措施的更多和改进的经济评估结果的持续需求，本项目将解决以下三个广泛的目标：1。检查最近开发的方法来估算毒品滥用服务和干预措施的经济成本和益处，可用于对酒精滥用服务的评估研究和干预措施； 2.进行任何修改和/或增强功能，以自定义这些早期开发的方法和工具，以用于当前对酒精滥用服务和干预措施的研究； 3.通过在阿肯色州，加利福尼亚州，加利福尼亚，佛罗里达州，伊利诺伊州，伊利诺伊州，纽约市，宾夕法尼亚州的几项NIAAA资助的服务研究和干预项目中添加（或补充）经济评估组件（添加（或补充）经济评估组件），测试使用这些当代经济滥用服务和干预措施的实用性和科学完整性。拟议的研究将与美国国家药物滥用研究所（NIDA）补充并扩大现有的研究赠款，该研究所的重点是开发和测试药物滥用干预措施的经济评估方法，包括在经济评估中应用临床和金融工具（例如ASI，DatCap，TSR，TSR）（1R01 DA11506）。 自1998年9月赠款开始以来，已经开发了各种经济评估方法，经过经验测试和实施。 据推测，大多数方法也可以应用于酒精滥用服务和干预措施。 为了提供测试这些方法的经验实验室，拟议研究的调查团队组装了一群令人印象深刻的NIAAA授予者，这些授予者已从其当前项目中访问了结果和其他数据，以增加（或改善）经济评估组成部分。 由于在美国以及国外对酒精滥用服务和干预措施的经济评估研究的需求正在增加，因此拟议的研究具有帮助研究人员，政策制定者和计划导演的重要潜力，并使用经济评估指南和“现实世界”应用。
