Looking at Underage Drinking Costs Data: What Do the Numbers Tell Us?

Speakers:
Dr. Ted Miller , Principal Research Scientist, Center for Public Health Improvement and Innovation, Calverton, Maryland
Maryann Harakall, Maine EUDL State Coordinator, Office of Substance Abuse Service State of Maine
Diane Riibe, Executive Director, Project Extra Mile, Omaha, Nebraska

Alcohol is the most commonly used and abused drug among youth in the United States, more than tobacco and illicit drugs. Although drinking by persons under the age of 21 is illegal, people aged 12 to 20 years drink 11% of all alcohol consumed in the United States. So what costs do we as a society bear as a result of this behavior? How is this data used by states and communities to aid in their planning and resource allocation on underage drinking?

This program will look at the latest cost data compiled by Dr. Ted Miller. Dr. Miller is an internationally recognized safety economist with over 200 publications. He is a leading expert on injury and violence incidence, costs and consequences, as well as substance abuse costs. His cost estimates are used by the U.S. Department of Transportation, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, the Justice Department, and several foreign governments.

Participants will hear how Dr. Miller develops his calculations and learn how this data can be used by their state or community. Our program will also feature data users from the public and private sectors. Maryann Harakall is the EUDL state coordinator for the State of Maine. She will discuss how important data is to this project and how she uses data to plan and allocate. Diane Riibe is the Executive Director of Project Extra Mile. Diane will provide our audience with information of how a not for profit advocacy organization finds data sources for their works and how this organization has used cost data in Nebraska.
