I have heard that thousands of Canadian kids are affected by fetal alcohol spectrum disorders. Has there been any attempt to estimate what it costs our society?
In a recent Canadian study, the lifetime cost of fetal alcohol spectrum disorders was estimated at $1 million per case. With an estimated 4000 new cases yearly, this translates to $4 billion annually.
我听说成千上万的加拿大儿童受到胎儿酒精谱系障碍的影响。有没有人尝试估算过这给我们的社会带来了多少成本?
在加拿大最近的一项研究中,胎儿酒精谱系障碍的终身成本估计为每例100万美元。据估计每年有4000例新病例,这意味着每年的成本为40亿美元。
