An Ounce of Prevention, A Pound of Uncertainty: The Cost-Effectiveness of School-Based Drug Prevention Programs
by By Caulkins, Jonathan P. (EDT)
Category: Health & Fitness , Reference

Uses results from the school-based drug prevention programs Project ALERT and Life Skills to answer questions surrounding the effectiveness and cost effectiveness of drug prevention programs and how they compare, dollar for dollar, with other approaches to drug control, such as enforcement or treatment. Discusses implications of findings for school-based drug prevention as a matter of national drug control policy, and shows how different analytical assumptions may result in different answers.
