*About This Webinar*

Dr. Max Crowley will discuss key standards for economic evaluation as 
identified by a number of convergent efforts. In particular, he will 
discuss the important role of administrative records for mapping the 
costs and benefits of prevention onto public budgets. Participants will 
gain a greater awareness of (1) best practices for economic evaluations 
of prevention, (2) how to increase utility of estimates for budget 
making, and (3) opportunities to include economic evaluation in ongoing 
and new studies.

*?About Max Crowley*

Dr. Max Crowley is Assistant Professor of Human Development and Family 
Studies at Penn State University (PSU) and directs the PSU 
Administrative Data Accelerator. He is a prevention scientist 
investigating how to optimize investments in healthy development. His 
work sits at the intersection of developmental science, social policy, 
and public finance. Dr. Crowley's program of research is motivated by a 
desire to increase the use of cost-effective, evidence-based preventive 
strategies to improve the lives of children and families. To accomplish 
this, his work aims to (1) strengthen methods for economic evaluations 
of preventive interventions, (2) optimize prevention strategies' impact, 
and (3) develop best practices for how to translate these investments 
into evidence-based policy. In this manner, he seeks to not only 
understand the costs and benefits of prevention, but aims to develop 
better interventions and encourage them to be disseminated widely.

Dr. Crowley translates his work for a wide array of policymakers on 
issues related to the impact and financing of prevention strategies. 
Recently, this research has identified cost-effective strategies for 
preventing opioid misuse through investments in schools and families. 
Dr. Crowley is the Principal Investigator on grants from the National 
Institute on Drug Abuse, /Eunice Kennedy Shriver/ National Institute of 
Child Health and Human Development, as well as The Annie E. Casey 
Foundation, Laura and John Arnold Foundation, Robert Wood Johnson 
Foundation, William T. Grant Foundation, and Doris Duke Charitable 
Foundation. Dr. Crowley has received national awards recognizing this 
scholarship from the NIH, The National Bureau of Economic Research, 
Society for Prevention Research, Association for Public Policy Analysis 
& Management, Research Society on Alcoholism, and National Prevention 
Science Coalition.
