- Abstract
In the field of health care, social care and psychotherapy a human being in need is a priority, so a cost benefit analysis can only be one of the criteria that funders use to choose an appropriate program or help. The most important programs such as awareness and prevention have difficulties trying to calculate this type of analysis. Nevertheless, the fact is that the damage caused by for example alcohol, drugs, violence, is enormous. The best way to reduce this damage is to use various programs in education, health care, social security, police and more. There are many more possible programs than there are availableexperts and money. Therefore, it is reasonable to use cost-benefit analysis in addition to other criteria of assessment. There are not a lot of studies on the application in available literature in Slovenia so it can be concluded that the use of this instrument is limited, while there are many published studies, analyzes and comparisons in foreign literature. From them we can see which programs use resources, devoted to social welfare and psychotherapy, in the way that users have the greatest benefit. Consequently, whilst the quality of life (less crime, less dependence etc.) increases, the social damage from social problems reduces.
