Title: The Cost of Substance Abuse in Wyoming 2010 Summary: The Wyoming Department of Health, Public Health Division (PHD) contracted with the Wyoming Survey & Analysis Center (WYSAC) at the University of Wyoming to conduct a cost of illness (COI) analysis of alcohol, tobacco, illicit drug abuse, prescription drug abuse, and mental health in the state. WYSAC received methodological guidance on the project from the Wyoming State Epidemiological Outcomes Workgroup (SEOW). In this report, WYSAC presents estimates of the economic impacts of substance abuse. In COI studies, estimated costs represent opportunity costs (WYSAC, 2011). Opportunity costs in COI studies are the economic values of opportunities or resources that could have otherwise been used for an alternative purpose instead of those opportunities or resources being used because of adverse health conditions or other outcomes. In this study WYSAC researchers estimated economic costs that would not have been incurred if the Wyoming population was not exposed to the risk factor (i.e., substance abuse) at some point during 2010.
