Economic evaluation of drug abuse treatment: NIDA
|
The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) encourages research on the economics of HIV/AIDS services that are utilized in conjunction with drug abuse treatment or prevention services.
The catastrophic medical expenses and premature disability due to AIDS can have a devastating impact on the well-being of the afflicted individual. Society also experiences numerous negative consequences from HIV/AIDS and indeed some nations are experiencing health system failures. Furthermore, persons with HIV/AIDS also face other blood borne infections, and of particular concern, is the hepatitis C virus (HCV).
Public health experts maintain that in order to achieve declines in HIV/AIDS incidence and deaths, HIV-infected persons must seek testing earlier in the course of their disease, receive and adhere to treatment, and follow prevention guidelines. Research to achieve these goals must involve an economic component concerned with the economic behavior of consumers, providers, government agencies, and third party payers. Applications are sought that would employ the methods of economic analysis to pressing problems in the financing and delivery of HIV/AIDS services and drug abuse treatment or prevention services.
