Economic Costs of neuroticism a population based study
Archives of General Psychiatry, 2010Co-Authors: Pim Cuijpers, Filip Smit, Brenda W J H Penninx, Ron De Graaf, Margreet Ten Have, Aartjan T. F. BeekmanAbstract:Context The importance of neuroticism for mental health care use and public health is well established. However, most research has focused on the association between neuroticism and a single specific disorder or health outcome, and the overall effect of neuroticism on use of somatic and mental health care and on society is not clear. Objective To examine the Economic Costs of neuroticism to get an impression of the overall effect of neuroticism on mental health care and on society in general. Design Cross-sectional population-based study. Setting General population. Participants A large representative sample (N = 5504) of the Dutch general population. Main Outcome Measures The Costs (health service uptake in primary and secondary mental health care, out-of-pocket Costs, and production losses) associated with neuroticism. Results The total per capita excess Costs were $12 362 per year for the reference year 2007 in the 5% highest scorers of neuroticism, $8243 in the 10% highest scorers, and $5572 in the 25% highest scorers. The per capita excess Costs of neuroticism are considerably higher than those of mental disorders. The total excess Costs of neuroticism per 1 million inhabitants resulting from the 25% highest scorers ($1.393 billion) were approximately 2.5 times as high as the excess Costs of common mental disorders ($585 million). Conclusions The Economic Costs of neuroticism are enormous and exceed those of common mental disorders. We should start thinking about interventions that focus not on each of the specific negative outcomes of neuroticism but rather on the starting point itself.

Economic Costs of minor depression a population based study
Acta Psychiatrica Scandinavica, 2007Co-Authors: Pim Cuijpers, Rutger De Graaf, Tom M. Van Der Have, Jan B. Oostenbrink, Filip Smit, Aartjan T. F. BeekmanAbstract:Objective: Although the clinical relevance of minor depression has been demonstrated in many studies, the Economic Costs are not well explored. In this study, we examine the Economic Costs of minor depression. Method: In a large-scale, population-based study in the Netherlands (n = 5504) the Costs of minor depression were compared with the Costs of major depression and dysthymia. Excess Costs, i.e. the Costs of a disorder over and above the Costs attributable to other illnesses, were estimated with help of regression analysis. The direct medical Costs, the direct non-medical Costs and the indirect non-medical Costs were calculated. The year 2003 was used as the reference year. Results: The annual per capita excess Costs of minor depression were US$ 2141 (95% CI = 753-3529) higher than the base rate Costs of US$ 1023, while the Costs of major depression were US$ 3313 (95% CI = 1234-5390) higher than the base rate. The Costs of minor depression per 1 million inhabitants were 160 million dollars per year, which is somewhat less than the Costs of major depression (192 million dollars per year). Conclusion: The Economic Costs associated with minor depression are considerable and approach those of major depression. © 2007 The Authors.

the health burden and Economic Costs of cutaneous melanoma mortality by race ethnicity united states 2000 to 2006
Journal of The American Academy of Dermatology, 2011Co-Authors: Donatus U Ekwueme, Gery P Guy, Sun Hee Rim, Pratibha Parelkar, Suephy C ChenAbstract:Background Cutaneous melanoma is the most deadly form of skin cancer with more than 8000 deaths per year in the United States. The health burden and Economic Costs associated with melanoma mortality by race/ethnicity have not been appropriately addressed. Objective We sought to quantify the health burden and Economic Costs associated with melanoma mortality among racial/ethnic groups in the United States. Methods We used 2000 to 2006 national mortality data and US life tables to estimate the number of deaths, and years of potential life lost (YPLL). Further, we estimated the Economic Costs of melanoma mortality in terms of productivity losses. All the estimates were stratified by race/ethnicity and sex. Results From 2000 to 2006, we estimated an increase of 13,349 (8.7%) YPLL because of melanoma mortality compared with a 2.8% increase among all malignant cancers across all race/ethnicity. On average, an individual in the United States loses 20.4 years of potential life during their lifetime as a result of melanoma mortality compared with 16.6 years for all malignant cancers. The estimated annual productivity loss attributed to melanoma mortality was $3.5 billion. Our estimates suggest that an individual who died from melanoma in 2000 through 2006 would lose an average of $413,370 in forgone lifetime earnings. YPLL rates and total productivity losses are much higher among non-Hispanic whites as compared with non-Hispanic blacks and Hispanics. Limitations The estimated Economic Costs did not include treatment, morbidity, and intangible Costs. Conclusions We estimated substantial YPLL and productivity losses as a result of melanoma mortality during an individual's lifetime. By examining the burden by race/ethnicity, this study provides useful information to assist policy-makers in making informed resource allocation decisions regarding cutaneous melanoma mortality.

the Economic Costs of child maltreatment in uk
Social Science Research Network, 2021Co-Authors: Gabriella Conti, Elena Pizzo, Stephen M Morris, Mariya MelnychukAbstract:Child maltreatment is a major public health problem with significant consequences for individual victims and for society. In this paper we quantify for the first time the Economic Costs of fatal and non-fatal child maltreatment in the UK in relation to several short-, medium- and long-term outcomes ranging from physical and mental health problems, to labour market outcomes and welfare use. We combine novel regression analysis of rich data from the National Child Development Study and the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing with secondary evidence to produce an incidence-based estimate of the lifetime Costs of child maltreatment from a societal perspective. The discounted average lifetime incidence cost of non-fatal child maltreatment by a primary caregiver is estimated at £89,390 (95% uncertainty interval £44,896 to £145,508); the largest contributors to this are Costs from social care, short-term health and long-term labour market outcomes. The discounted lifetime cost per death from child maltreatment is estimated at £940,758, comprising health care and lost productivity Costs. Our estimates provide the first comprehensive benchmark to quantify the Costs of child maltreatment in the UK and the benefits of interventions aimed at reducing or preventing it.

international trade and air pollution estimating the Economic Costs of air emissions from waterborne commerce vessels in the united states
Journal of Environmental Management, 2005Co-Authors: Kevin P GallagherAbstract:Although there is a burgeoning literature on the effects of international trade on the environment, relatively little work has been done on where trade most directly effects the environment: the transportation sector. This article shows how international trade is affecting air pollution emissions in the United States' shipping sector. Recent work has shown that cargo ships have been long overlooked regarding their contribution to air pollution. Indeed, ship emissions have recently been deemed "the last unregulated source of traditional air pollutants". Air pollution from ships has a number of significant local, national, and global environmental effects. Building on past studies, we examine the Economic Costs of this increasing and unregulated form of environmental damage. We find that total emissions from ships are largely increasing due to the increase in foreign commerce (or international trade). The Economic Costs of SO2 pollution range from dollars 697 million to dollars 3.9 billion during the period examined, or dollars 77 to dollars 435 million on an annual basis. The bulk of the cost is from foreign commerce, where the annual Costs average to dollars 42 to dollars 241 million. For NOx emissions the Costs are dollars 3.7 billion over the entire period or dollars 412 million per year. Because foreign trade is driving the growth in US shipping, we also estimate the effect of the Uruguay Round on emissions. Separating out the effects of global trade agreements reveals that the trade agreement-led emissions amounted to dollars 96 to dollars 542 million for SO2 between 1993 and 2001, or dollars 10 to dollars 60 million per year. For NOx they were dollars 745 million for the whole period or dollars 82 million per year. Without adequate policy responses, we predict that these trends and Costs will continue into the future.

This article shows how international trade is affecting criteria air pollution emissions in the United States' shipping sector. Recent work has shown that cargo ships have been long overlooked regarding their contribution to air pollution. Indeed, ship emissions have recently been deemed "the last unregulated source of traditional air pollutants." Air pollution from ships has a number of significant local, national, and global environmental effects. Building on past studies, we examine the Economic Costs of this increasing and unregulated form of environmental damage. We find that total emissions from ships are largely increasing due to the increase in foreign commerce (or international trade). We analyze the period 1993 to 2001 and find that the Economic Costs of SO2 pollution during the period are estimated to be $1.1 billion or $126 million per year. For NOx emissions the Costs are $3.7 billion over the entire period or $412 million per year. Because foreign trade is driving the growth in U.S. shipping, we also estimate the effect of the Uruguay Round on emissions. Separating out the effects of global trade agreements reveals that the trade agreement-led emissions amount to $460 million for SO2 between 1993 and 2001, or $51 million per year. For NOx they are $1.2 billion for the whole period or $144 million per year. Without adequate policy responses, we predict that these trends and Costs will continue to rise with trade flows into the future.
