Substance Abuse Research at the 2010 AHSEcon Conference

描述（由申请人提供）：康奈尔大学人类生态学院政策分析与管理系在美国卫生经济学家协会（ASHEcon）第三届两年一次的会议上寻求资金支持药物滥用研究：“健康，医疗保健和行为。”ASHEcon是一个专业组织，致力于促进美国健康经济学研究的卓越性。从2006年在威斯康星大学举办的第一次会议开始，ASHEcon两年一次的会议迅速成为美国首屈一指的健康经济学会议。卫生经济学研究的实证结果和方法进展，促进下一代卫生经济学学者的发展。以前的NIDA会议资助帮助了第一届和第二届ASHEcon会议，包括关于药物使用和滥用经济学的高质量会议，包括对决定因素、预防、治疗和其他问题的研究。我们正在请求NIDA通过另一项会议拨款提供资金，以继续并在这一记录的基础上继续发展。在ASHEcon会议上展示的研究将有助于推进NIDA的研究议程。参加会议的许多卫生经济学家都是NIDA的受助者，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。第三届两年一次的ASHEcon会议将于2010年6月20日至23日在纽约州伊萨卡的康奈尔大学举行，会前活动将于6月19日举行。会议将由康奈尔大学、锡拉丘兹大学和罗切斯特大学共同主办。作为主办本次会议的主要机构，康奈尔大学要求NIDA提供部分支持，以在第三届ASHEcon会议上促进药物滥用研究。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Department of Policy Analysis and Management in College of Human Ecology at Cornell University seeks funding to support substance abuse research at the third biennial conference of the American Society of Health Economists (ASHEcon): "Health, Healthcare, and Behavior." ASHEcon is a professional organization dedicated to promoting excellence in health economics research in the U.S. Beginning with its first conference at the University of Wisconsin in 2006, ASHEcon's biennial conference has quickly become established as the premier health economics conference in the U.S. The conference provides a forum for presenting emerging ideas, empirical results and methodological advances in health economics research and for facilitating the development of the next generation of health economics scholars. Previous NIDA conference grants helped the first and second ASHEcon conferences include high quality sessions on the economics of substance use and abuse, including research on the determinants, prevention, treatment, and other issues. We are requesting NIDA funding through another conference grant to continue and build on this track record. The research presented at the ASHEcon conference will help move forward NIDA's research agenda. 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 third biennial ASHEcon conference will be held June 20-23, 2010, at Cornell University in Ithaca NY with pre-conference activities on June 19. The conference will be co-hosted by Cornell, Syracuse University and the University of Rochester. As the lead institution hosting this conference, Cornell is requesting partial support from NIDA to promote substance abuse research at the third ASHEcon conference. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The objective of the third biennial conference of the American Society of Health Economists conference is to provide a forum for emerging ideas and empirical results of health economics research. Previous NIDA conference grants helped the first and second ASHEcon conferences include high quality sessions on the economics of substance use and abuse, including research on the determinants, prevention, treatment, and other issues. We are requesting partial funding from NIDA to continue and build on this track record.
