Drug use can impact on the national well being in a multitude of ways. In 1998-1999 the fiscal cost of licit and illicit drug use was estimated to be $34.4 billion, while drug-related crime is estimated to cost Australia $1.96 billion annually. This study is valuable in its capacity to inform evidence-based policy and practice addressing amphetamine uptake and amphetamine use trajectories and harms. This has implications for developing strategies to enable young Australians to make healthy choices regarding amphetamine and other drug use, and for the broader economic and social benefits arising from healthy and productive individuals, families and communities.

毒品的使用可能会以多种方式影响国民福祉。1998-1999年，合法和非法药物使用的财政成本估计为344亿美元，而与毒品有关的犯罪估计每年给澳大利亚造成19.6亿美元的损失。这项研究很有价值，因为它能够为处理苯丙胺摄取和苯丙胺使用轨迹和危害的循证政策和实践提供信息。这对于制定战略，使澳大利亚年轻人能够就苯丙胺和其他毒品的使用作出健康的选择，以及健康和多产的个人、家庭和社区所产生的更广泛的经济和社会效益具有重要意义。
