药物滥用干预措施的经济分析在为参与资助这些计划的决策者提供信息方面发挥着关键作用。尽管出现了新的和更有效的干预措施，采用更昂贵的服务仍然需要基于经济证据的理由。更新和更严格的经济信息使患者，医疗保健专业人员，保险公司，政策制定者和其他人能够更有效地分配稀缺资源。为了准备下一波成瘾卫生服务研究，本文介绍了成瘾卫生服务经济学的背景信息，回顾了最近的经验和方法的贡献，并提供了15项研究建议。(c)2005年爱思唯尔公司All rights reserved.
Economic analyses of substance abuse interventions play a critical role in informing the decision makers involved in funding these programs. Despite the emergence of new and more effective interventions, the adoption of costlier services still demands justification based on economic evidence. Updated and more rigorous economic information allows patients, health care professionals, insurance companies, policymakers, and others to allocate scarce resources more efficiently. To prepare for the next wave of addiction health services research, this article presents background information on the economics of addiction health services, reviews recent empirical and methodological contributions, and provides 15 research recommendations.
