Description
In this podcast, we talk to Dr. Eila Kankaanpää, senior lecturer in health economics at the University of Eastern Finland. The focus of this podcast is on the JCPP paper, ‘The long-term cost of childhood conduct problems: Finnish Nationwide 1981 Birth Cohort Study’.
Learning Objectives
1. Overview of the paper, what the costs associated with conduct problems in childhood include, highlights the methodology used, and shares some of the key findings.
2. Eila provides further insight into her conclusion that the high costs justify the development and evaluation of interventions for childhood conduct problems. Eila then discusses what she would like to see done about this, as well as what area of research she would like to see being focused on.
3. Furthermore Eila mentions what message policymakers should take from her findings, what the implications are for practitioners, and what professionals working with young people and their families should also take from her findings.
