DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Despite considerable methodological and empirical developments in the economic assessment of adult substance abuse programs, economic evaluation techniques have not yet been systematically adopted in studies of adolescent addiction treatment. The economic evaluation of adolescent addiction treatment is considerably more complex than that of adult treatment because of the diversity of juvenile delivery systems, the absence of standardized instrumentation or modules, the integral participation of parents/guardians and other family members, and the unique social and economic outcomes. In response to the pressing need to improve and increase economic evaluations of adolescent addiction interventions, the present project will address the following three aims: 1. Implement experience gained from conducting numerous economic evaluations of adult substance abuse interventions to develop standardized and rigorous methods for estimating the costs and economic benefits of adolescent substance abuse interventions; 2. Develop economic evaluation modules for adolescent substance abuse interventions that future studies could easily add to their design and instrumentation in order to collect the data and measures necessary to complete a cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) or benefit-cost analysis (BCA); Simultaneously assess current economic evaluation methods and define measures for the proposed economic evaluation modules by adding an economic evaluation component to several NIDA- or CSAT-funded adolescent intervention projects in California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, New Mexico, and South Carolina. The proposed study will complement and extend a nearly completed research grant with NIDA focused on developing and testing economic evaluation methods for adult drug abuse interventions, including the application of clinical and financial instruments in economic evaluation (1 R01 DA11506). To provide an empirical laboratory for testing these methods with adolescents, the investigative team has assembled an impressive group of NIDA and CSAT grantees that have agreed to provide access to outcome and other data. The proposed study will (1) build upon the foundation of a productive NIDA-funded research program to develop economic analysis methods and measures specifically for the evaluation of adolescent addiction interventions; (2) test the feasibility and integrity of these economic analysis methods through collaborations with NIDA/CSAT-funded scientists and "real-world" applications based in six different states; and (3) disseminate the techniques, guidelines, data collection modules, and empirical findings to the widest possible audience through peer-reviewed research papers, professional conference presentations, policy workshops, clinical workshops, website postings, and informal distribution channels.

描述（由申请人提供）： 尽管在成人滥用计划的经济评估中进行了可观的方法论和经验发展，但在青少年成瘾治疗研究中，经济评估技术尚未系统地采用。由于青少年送货系统的多样性，缺乏标准化的仪器或模块，父母/监护人和其他家庭成员的整体参与以及独特的社会和经济成果，对青少年成瘾治疗的经济评估比成人治疗的经济评估要复杂得多。为了应对改善青少年成瘾干预措施的迫切需求，将解决以下三个目的：1。通过对成人药物滥用干预措施进行大量经济评估，以开发标准化和严格的方法来开发标准化和严格的方法，以估算青少年药物滥用干预措施的成本和经济益处； 2。开发用于青少年药物滥用干预措施的经济评估模块，未来的研究很容易增加其设计和仪器，以收集完成成本效益分析（CEA）或福利成本分析（BCA）所需的数据和措施；同时评估当前的经济评估方法，并通过在加利福尼亚州，科罗拉多州，佛罗里达州，伊利诺伊州，新墨西哥州和南卡罗来纳州的几个NIDA或CSAT资助的青少年干预项目中添加经济评估组件来定义拟议的经济评估模块的措施。拟议的研究将补充并扩展了几乎完成的研究赠款，NIDA的重点是开发和测试成人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（1 R01 DA11506）。为了提供一个经验实验室，用于与青少年一起测试这些方法，调查团队组建了一群令人印象深刻的NIDA和CSAT授予者，他们同意提供对结果和其他数据的访问。拟议的研究将（1）建立在一项由NIDA资助的研究计划的基础上，旨在开发经济分析方法和措施，专门用于评估青少年成瘾干预措施； （2）通过与NIDA/CSAT资助的科学家和基于六个不同状态的NIDA/CSAT资助的科学家和“现实世界”应用来测试这些经济分析方法的可行性和完整性； （3）通过同行评审的研究论文，专业会议演讲，政策研讨会，临床研讨会，网站发布和非正式分发渠道，将技术，指南，数据收集模块和经验发现传播给最广泛的受众。
