项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This is the second revision of an application that proposes to investigate the economic aspects of ecstasy use. This second revision includes all the prior strengths noted by the reviewers, as well as details on how to detect and deal with multicollinearity that makes it difficult to separate the effect of ecstasy from that of other illicit substances. We eliminated one specific aim as recommended. There are many other smaller changes in this revision, demarcated by italics throughout this application. For many years ecstasy has had a deceptive reputation as a "safe" drug, but recent research has evidenced its adverse physiological and psychological effects on human health. Little research has however examined the economic aspects of ecstasy use. This study proposes to (1) Estimate the extent to which ecstasy contributes to higher utilization and cost of health services among adolescents (ages 12-17 years) and young adults (ages 18-34 years); (2) Estimate the extent to which ecstasy contributes to crime/delinquency activities among adolescents (ages 12-17 years) and young adults (ages 18-34 years); (3) Investigate the relationships between ecstasy and academic performance among high school students (grades 9 to 12); and (4) Examine the extent to which polydrugs differentially affect the economic aspects of ecstasy. These aims will be addressed by analyzing the following recent public use datasets: the 2002, 2003, and 2004 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (N=164,902) and the 2001, 2003, and 2005 school-based Youth Behavior Risk Survey (N=42,613). Ecstasy users may generate private and social costs through utilization of more costly emergency services and/or hospitalizations and involvement in crime/delinquency activity. To the extent that high school academic performance affects future job opportunities, the impact of ecstasy on high school academic performance will have far-reaching human capital consequences. This project will be the first broad national research of economic aspects of ecstasy use. Insights from the study will influence policies that encourage more ambulatory care, lower involvement in crime delinquency, and improved employment opportunities. Policy makers, clinicians and other health care providers, public health organizations, substance abuse program personnel, law enforcement personnel, school managers, and family members will use findings from this study as they decide how to develop cost-effective treatments as well as programs to identify and divert future Ecstasy Users to prevention programs. The bridge between research, policy, and practices has yet to be successfully established. We are committing to disseminate these findings to the widest audience possible, through professional conferences, policy workshops, and other distribution channels such as school/college-based venues and community-based treatment programs.

描述（由申请人提供）：这是提议调查摇头丸使用经济方面的应用程序的第二次修订。第二次修订包括审稿人指出的所有先前优势，以及有关如何检测和处理多重共线性的详细信息，这使得很难将摇头丸的效果与其他非法物质的效果分开。我们根据建议取消了一个特定目标。在本应用程序中，斜体划界了此修订中的其他许多较小的变化。多年来，摇头丸一直是一种“安全”药物的欺骗性声誉，但最近的研究证明了其对人类健康的不良生理和心理影响。但是，很少有研究研究了摇头丸的经济方面。这项研究建议（1）估计摇头丸在青少年（12-17岁）和年轻人（18-34岁）中造成更高利用和卫生服务成本的程度；（2）估计摇头丸在青少年（12-17岁）和年轻人（18-34岁）中造成犯罪/犯罪活动的贡献程度；（3）研究高中生摇头丸与学习成绩之间的关系（9至12年级）；（4）检查多毒物在多大程度上影响摇头丸的经济方面的程度。这些目标将通过分析以下最近的公共用途数据集来解决：2002、2003和2004年全国药物使用与健康调查（n = 164,902）以及2001、2003和2005年基于学校的青年行为风险调查（n = 42,613）。摇头丸用户可以通过利用更昂贵的紧急服务和/或住院以及参与犯罪/犯罪活动来产生私人和社会成本。在一定程度上，高中学业会影响未来的工作机会，摇头丸对高中学术绩效的影响将带来深远的人力资本后果。该项目将是关于摇头丸使用的经济方面的首次全国性研究。该研究的见解将影响鼓励更多的门诊护理，降低犯罪犯罪的参与以及改善就业机会的政策。决策者，临床医生和其他医疗保健提供者，公共卫生组织，药物滥用计划人员，执法人员，学校经理和家庭成员将使用本研究中的调查结果，因为他们决定如何开发具有成本效益的治疗方法，以及识别和将未来狂喜用户识别和将未来的狂热者转移到预防计划中。研究，政策和实践之间的桥梁尚未成功建立。我们致力于通过专业会议，政策研讨会以及其他分销渠道（例如学校/大学的场所和基于社区的治疗计划）将这些发现传播给可能的最广泛的受众。
