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.

说明（由申请人提供）：这是一项申请的第二次修订，该申请提议调查摇头丸使用的经济方面。 第二次修订包括了审查人员注意到的所有先前的优点，以及关于如何发现和处理多重共线性的细节，这种多重共线性使得难以将摇头丸的效果与其他非法物质的效果分开。我们按照建议删除了一个特定目标。在这个修订版中还有许多其他较小的变化，在整个应用程序中以斜体划分。多年来，摇头丸一直被误认为是一种“安全”药物，但最近的研究证明，摇头丸对人体健康有不良的生理和心理影响。然而，很少有研究审查摇头丸使用的经济方面。本研究拟（1）估计摇头丸在多大程度上导致青少年对保健服务的利用率和费用增加（12-17岁）和年轻人（18-34岁）;（2）估计摇头丸在多大程度上助长了青少年的犯罪/青少年犯罪活动（3）调查摇头丸与高中生（9至12年级）学习成绩之间的关系;（4）审查多种药物对摇头丸经济方面的不同影响程度。这些目标将通过分析以下最近的公共使用数据集来解决：2002年，2003年和2004年全国药物使用和健康调查（N= 164，902）和2001年，2003年和2005年基于学校的青年行为风险调查（N= 42，613）。吸毒者可能因使用更昂贵的紧急服务和/或住院治疗以及参与犯罪/违法活动而产生私人和社会成本。在某种程度上，高中学业成绩影响未来的工作机会，摇头丸对高中学业成绩的影响将产生深远的人力资本后果。该项目将是对摇头丸使用的经济方面进行的第一次广泛的全国性研究。这项研究的见解将影响政策，鼓励更多的门诊护理，减少犯罪行为的参与，并改善就业机会。政策制定者、临床医生和其他医疗保健提供者、公共卫生组织、药物滥用项目人员、执法人员、学校管理人员和家庭成员将利用本研究的结果来决定如何开发具有成本效益的治疗方法以及识别和转移的计划。未来的摇头丸使用者转向预防计划。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，政策研讨会和其他分销渠道，如学校/大学场所和社区治疗方案，向尽可能广泛的受众传播这些发现。
