Alcohol Alert: Economic Perspectives in Alcoholism Research
Economic analysis is used to estimate the costs of alcohol-related problems and to assist in the study of alcoholism prevention and treatment methods. The costs of alcohol abuse and alcoholism are of continuing concern to policymakers and the general public. Changes in alcoholic beverage prices and taxes are of interest, because they can affect alcohol consumption and related problems. Finally, understanding the costs and cost-effectiveness of alcoholism treatment can lead to more efficient use of health care resources. This Alcohol Alert reviews examples of recent research in these areas.
