Summary

Substance Abuse Economics examines the significant economic burden that drug abuse places on healthcare systems and society, bridging the gap between public health and economic stability. It meticulously quantifies costs, demonstrating how substance abuse drains resources, strains infrastructure, and diminishes productivity. The book highlights that understanding these economic impacts is crucial for informed policymaking and effective prevention strategies.

 
For instance, the study emphasizes the significant costs of healthcare associated with substance abuse, from emergency room visits to long-term treatment programs. The book explores direct healthcare costs, indirect costs like lost productivity, and broader societal costs involving law enforcement and social welfare. It uses cost-analysis methodologies to measure the economic impacts of substance abuse, drawing on data from national health surveys and administrative claims.

 
The analysis reveals the impact of substance abuse on labor markets, economic growth, and the criminal justice system. By translating complex concepts into accessible language, this book provides policymakers, healthcare professionals, and the public with the tools needed for informed decision-making.

 
The book progresses logically, beginning with fundamental concepts of health economics and cost-analysis, then moving to direct healthcare costs, indirect costs, and societal costs. It concludes with practical recommendations for policymakers and healthcare providers, addressing ongoing debates such as the cost-effectiveness of treatment modalities. This approach ensures a comprehensive understanding of the economic dimensions of substance abuse, offering valuable insights for resource allocation and intervention strategies.

Identity Theft: Rediscovering...

PhD Debra E. Meyerson, Steve...

Identity Theft, Second Edition is an update to the award-winning book that follows Stanford professor Debra Meyerson’s journey to recover from a severe stroke that initially left her physically incapacitated and unable to speak. In addition to providing realistic expectations for the hard work needed to regain everyday capabilities, Meyerson and Zuckerman focus on the less frequently documented – but equally critical – emotional journey as she and her family rebuild identity in recovery. The second edition adds perspective from an additional five years of continued recovery and rebuilding their lives, including insights from the work of the nonprofit they co-founded – Stroke Onward. Virtually every stroke survivor is haunted by questions like “Who am I now?” and “How do I rebuild a meaningful and rewarding life?” after losing so much of what they had before—capabilities, careers and jobs, relationships, and more. The first edition centered on Debra’s experience: her stroke in 2010, her extraordinary efforts to recover, and her journey to redefine herself. But she also draws on her skills as a social scientist, sharing stories from several dozen fellow survivors, family members, friends, colleagues, therapists, and doctors she met and interviewed. By sharing this diversity of experiences, Debra highlighted how every stroke is different and every recovery is different. The new content in this second edition was written by Debra and her spouse, Steve Zuckerman. They co-founded the nonprofit Stroke Onward to build an organization that can catalyze change in the healthcare system to better integrate the emotional journey of rebuilding identity into a lifelong recovery process. They’ve added new insights about the long-term recovery process and how we can change the stroke system of care to better support all survivors and their families.
