DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Many empirical studies have found that individuals with a behavioral health disorder(s) incur a variety of personal problems and sometimes impose costly externalities on others. Given the need for current and nationally representative information on the type and cost of economic consequences associated with alcohol abuse and dependence, this research application will analyze Wave 1 of the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions (NESARC) to accomplish the following four aims: 1. Estimate the effects of alcohol use disorders on labor market performance including employment status, labor supply, occupation, and personal income; 2. Estimate the effects of alcohol use disorders on criminal activity including vandalizing, shoplifting, aggravated assault, physical harm, any illegal activity, and victimization; 3. Estimate the effects of alcohol use disorders on health services utilization including emergency room episodes, injuries requiring medical care, inpatient hospital episodes, and inpatient hospital days; 4. Develop policy, clinical, and research recommendations for addressing the economic impact of alcohol use disorders in the U.S. The proposed secondary analysis of the NESARC has important policy implications, public health relevance, and research significance because little current information is available on a broad range of adverse economic consequences associated with alcohol use disorders. Such information is crucial for policy makers, alcohol abuse prevention and treatment personnel, employers, criminal justice agencies, and health care providers as they consider and decide on implementing alcohol interventions. Additional policy and public health value of these findings is linked with the social cost literature and national alcohol policy. The methods and findings can be used to assess the potential social cost of alcohol abuse and dependence in the areas of employment, crime, and health services utilization. These methods can also be used as a component of an economic evaluation of alcohol abuse interventions. Finally, the research significance is high because few studies have used contemporary research methods and data to estimate the economic effects of alcohol use and abuse.

描述（由申请人提供）：许多实证研究发现，患有行为健康障碍的人会遇到各种个人问题，有时会对他人施加昂贵的外部性。鉴于需要有关与酒精滥用和依赖相关的经济后果类型和成本的当前和全国代表性的信息，该研究应用程序将分析有关酒精和相关条件的国家流行病学调查（NESARC）的第1浪（NESARC），以实现以下四个目标：1。估计酒精使用障碍对包括劳动劳动劳动劳动市场绩效的影响，包括劳动劳动力市场的影响，包括劳动力，劳动供应，劳动力，劳动，劳动，职业，职业和个人收入，职业和个人收入，职业和个人收入； 2。估计酒精使用障碍对犯罪活动的影响，包括破坏，入店行窃，严重攻击，身体伤害，任何非法活动和受害； 3。估计酒精使用障碍对卫生服务利用的影响，包括急诊室发作，需要医疗的伤害，住院医院发作和住院医院时代； 4.制定政策，临床和研究建议，以解决美国酒精使用障碍对经济影响的影响。拟议的NESARC二级分析具有重要的政策含义，公共卫生的意义和研究意义，因为对于与酒精使用障碍相关的各种不利经济后果的信息很少。这些信息对于决策者，预防酗酒和治疗人员，雇主，刑事司法机构和医疗保健提供者在考虑并决定实施酒精干预时至关重要。这些发现的其他政策和公共健康价值与社会成本文献和国家酒精政策有关。这些方法和发现可用于评估就业，犯罪和卫生服务利用领域中酗酒和依赖的潜在社会成本。这些方法也可以用作对酒精滥用干预措施的经济评估的组成部分。最后，研究意义很高，因为很少有研究使用当代研究方法和数据来估计酒精使用和滥用的经济影响。
