By comparing the costs of preventive interventions with the long-term benefits of those interventions, benefit-cost analysis provides a tool for determining what kinds of investments have the greatest potential to reduce the physical, mental, and behavioral health problems of young people. More generally, the growth of benefit-cost analysis as a field of research and practice represents an exciting and promising trend in the development and implementation of public policies. [...] This report discusses a wide range of issues about benefit-cost analysis, including the level of research rigor that should be met before results from an evaluation are used to estimate or predict outcomes in a cost-benefit analysis; best practices and methodologies for costing prevention interventions; prevention outcomes that currently lend themselves to monetization; processes and methodologies that should be used when linking prevention outcomes to avoided costs or increased revenues; and best methods for handling risk and uncertainty in estimates."--Publisher's description 650 0 $a Family services $z United States $x Cost effectiveness $v Congresses. 650 0 $a Family services $z United States $x Evaluation $v Congresses. 650 0 $a Cost effectiveness $x Methodology $v Congresses. 700 1 $a Olson, Steve, $d 1956-, $e compiler. 700 1 $a Bogard, Kimber. $e compiler. 710 2 $a National Research Council (U.S.). $b Board on Children, Youth, and Families, $e issuing body. 710 2 $a Institute of Medicine (U.S.), $e sponsoring body. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826091454.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7B73D2AE6B5511E69AFE1DDBDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
