- Summary:
-
This study reviews benefit-cost analyses of programs designed to reduce demand for illicit drugs. Data were synthesised from 67 benefit-cost analyses of prevention, law enforcement and treatment programs. Eighty percent of the 70 separate benefit-cost ratios exceeded 1.0, indicating that savings outweighed costs among most programs reviewed. Benefit-cost ratios ranged from -18.20 to 63.32, varying substantially for different program types and populations. On average, demand reduction programs produced a return on investment of $5.40 for every dollar spent. These findings suggest demand reduction programs are generally economical.
