Evaluating the prevention, intervention, and treatment programme is critical to understanding the decision-making behaviour of substance abusers. The study interweaves behavioural health economics with the extended PRECEDE-PROCEED Model and examines the effectiveness of treatment settings for substance users in New Jersey Drug and Alcohol Abuse Treatment (13,775 samples). The study also identifies the factors that are associated with substance users' recurrence to the treatment centre. The results concluded that educational attainment, counselling services from health care providers, mental agency services, and detoxification treatments have a significant impact on preventing relapse behaviour.
评估预防、干预和治疗方案对于理解药物滥用者的决策行为至关重要。该研究将行为健康经济学与扩展的PRECEDE-PROCEED模型相结合，并考察了新泽西州药物和酒精滥用治疗（13775个样本）中针对药物使用者的治疗环境的有效性。该研究还确定了与药物使用者返回治疗中心复发相关的因素。结果得出结论，受教育程度、医疗保健提供者的咨询服务、心理机构服务和戒毒治疗对预防复发行为有重大影响。
