N2  - The economic costs of problems afflicting youth are reflected in lowered production and in expenditures required for treatment and social control. These factors have not been adequately understood, nor have their implications for the cost effectiveness of intervention programs been elaborated. This paper reviews previous work on the cost and value of farm youth as a model and proposes research questions and approaches to illuminate the costs of youth problems and their programmatic and policy implications.<p />
