Note: Columns represent mean per person benefits valued as positive amounts in the case of “goods” and negative amounts in the case of “bads”.

a

Income benefits are already in monetary units and is calculated by the change in income earned 30 days prior to follow-up and is multiplied by 6.

b

Illegal activity assumes one illegal activity per day with a conversion factor is $754.95 per activity.

c

Alcohol and drug use estimates are described in the text.

d

Incarceration costs are assumed to $23,384 per incident. Incarceration was only assessed at the end of the study so the value reflects the total over the 0-24 month period.
