Résumé :
This study examined morbidity, mortality and economic costs attributable to the abuse of alcohol, illegal drugs and tobacco in Canada for the year 2002. Attributable fractions by age, gender and province for more than 80 causes of disease and death - partly or fully attributable to alcohol, illegal drugs or tobacco - were used to estimate the number of deaths, potential years of life lost, hospital days and diagnoses in acute care hospitals, psychiatric separations and hospital days in psychiatric hospitals, admissions in inpatient and outpatient centres, and days in treatment.
With regard to the economic costs due to morbidity, mortality and other problems associated with substance abuse, this study adopted a modified human capital approach, with sensitivity analyses being provided for two other approaches, which can be considered to result in lower and upper bounds for social costs. Although this study contains more cost components than previous studies, data are lacking for some costs. (Extract of the publication)
