Résumé :
This article presents the proceedings of a symposium held at the meeting of the International Society for Biomedical Research on Alcoholism (ISBRA) in Mannheim, Germany, in October 2004. The symposium covered some crucial of the manifold aspects in the field of health economic research of alcoholism, for example, results of cost of treatment studies, evolution of health economic research in past years, methodological problems of cost-effectiveness studies, and the effects of tax or price policies for alcohol consumption and the increase of alcohol-related problems. Studies from the United States, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, and Germany were presented, underlining that even in these highly industrialized countries, health economic research is far from providing the essential evidence needed for adequate service planning or effective cost containment strategies in the field of alcoholism or addiction in general.
