DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Second Biennial ASHE Conference ABSTRACT The objective of the second biennial American Society of Health Economists (ASHE) conference is to provide a forum for emerging ideas and empirical results of health economics research. More specifically, the goal of the conference is to enable a large community of health economists to gather to present and discuss high quality papers representing new and innovative research in important areas of health economics. The final outcomes include better research, generation of new research ideas, development of junior researchers, dissemination of cutting-edge ideas, and better policies. One of the topical areas is addiction. Plenary speakers, scientific sessions, and posters will cover topics such as the theory of addictive behaviors, cost-effectiveness of addiction treatments, disparities, substance abuse and risky behaviors, and financing of treatment, that would move forward NIDA's research agenda. One of our invited plenary speakers, Gary Becker, PhD, a Nobel Laureate and Professor at the University of Chicago, will speak on health and rational choice. Becker is known for his insightful theories about individual behavior in both familiar settings (the family unit) and in trying to explain unusual behavior (such as addiction). His paper on rational addiction spawned numerous other researchers to delve into this topic, both theoretically and empirically. We currently have five sessions already organized on substance abuse, with papers and presenters confirmed. Many of the health economists who will attend are NIDA grantees and others may become interested in these topics after hearing the plenary speakers and the papers presented. The second biennial ASHE conference will be held at Duke University in Durham, NC on June 22-25, 2008. There will be pre-conference session held on Sunday, June 22. Regular scientific sessions will be held Monday through Wednesday, June 23-25. We expect attendance of about 700. ASHE is a relatively new organization, recently formed as an affiliate of iHEA. Through its activities, ASHE provides a forum for the exchange of ideas and information among health economics researchers, policy makers, and those who fund health economics and health policy research. We hope that NIDA will be interested in funding a small portion of the cost of mounting this conference, as it did in 2006.

第二届两年一度的美国卫生经济学家协会（ASHE）会议的目的是为新兴思想和卫生经济学研究的实证结果提供一个论坛。更具体地说，会议的目标是使一个庞大的卫生经济学家社区能够聚集在一起，介绍和讨论代表卫生经济学重要领域的新研究和创新研究的高质量论文。最终的成果包括更好的研究、产生新的研究思想、培养初级研究人员、传播前沿思想以及更好的政策。其中一个热门领域是上瘾。全体会议发言人、科学会议和海报将涵盖成瘾行为理论、成瘾治疗的成本效益、差异、药物滥用和危险行为以及治疗融资等主题，这将推动NIDA的研究议程。我们邀请的全体会议发言人之一，诺贝尔奖得主、芝加哥大学教授加里·贝克尔博士，将就健康与理性选择发表演讲。贝克尔以他在熟悉的环境（家庭单位）和试图解释不寻常行为（如成瘾）中的个人行为的深刻理论而闻名。他关于理性成瘾的论文引发了许多其他研究人员从理论上和经验上深入研究这个话题。我们目前已经组织了五次关于药物滥用的会议，并确定了论文和演讲人。出席会议的许多卫生经济学家都是NIDA的受助人，其他人可能会在听取全体会议发言人和提交的论文后对这些主题感兴趣。第二届两年一次的ASHE会议将于2008年6月22-25日在北卡罗来纳州达勒姆的杜克大学举行。会前会议将于6月22日星期日举行。定期科学会议将于6月23日至25日（周一至周三）举行。我们预计约有700人出席。ASHE是一个相对较新的组织，最近作为iHEA的附属机构成立。通过其活动，卫生经济学协会为卫生经济学研究人员、决策者以及卫生经济学和卫生政策研究资助者之间的思想和信息交流提供了一个论坛。我们希望NIDA会像2006年那样，有兴趣资助这次会议的一小部分费用。第二届美国卫生经济学家协会（ASHE）两年一次会议的目的是为新兴思想和卫生经济学研究的实证结果提供一个论坛。第二届两年一度的ASHE会议将于2008年6月22日至25日在北卡罗来纳州达勒姆的杜克大学举行，会前会议将于6月22日星期日举行。我们希望NIDA会像2006年那样，有兴趣资助这次会议的一小部分费用。
