Abstract:
Cost-effectiveness analysis, a technique for allocating resources, examines the relationship between the cost of providing treatment and resulting improvement in health measured in a single, numerical scale. In applying this concept to substance abuse services, the authors expressed effectiveness in terms of additional "abstinent years." To control for differences in clients across modalities, the authors used multivariate cost-effectiveness analysis, estimating results for a typical client at each of three alternative severity levels.
