We have presented an algorithm designed to facilitate the application of economic analysis to the evaluation of individual alcoholism rehabilitation programs. In doing so we have attempted to delineate the limitations of such analyses as well as the type and value of information they provide. After a brief review of the basic principles of cost-benefit analysis and a listing of the economic costs of alcoholism, a case study was developed as an heuristic device to illustrate the algorithm and the potential utility of cost-benefit analysis, particularly when used in conjunction with sensitivity analysis, as a logical framework for the evaluation effort.
我们提出了一种算法，旨在促进将经济分析应用于个体酒精中毒康复项目的评估。在此过程中，我们试图阐明此类分析的局限性以及它们所提供信息的类型和价值。在简要回顾成本效益分析的基本原理并列出酒精中毒的经济成本后，开发了一个案例研究作为一种启发式工具，以说明该算法以及成本效益分析的潜在效用，特别是当与敏感性分析结合使用时，作为评估工作的逻辑框架。
