[a] At 6 percent discount rate.
[b] Components are indicated in parentheses.
[c] Total costs for each of the three disorders are not comparable because 
    the completeness of data available for each category varied 
    significantly.  For example, the estimate of reduced productivity is 
    relatively complete for alcohol abuse, partially complete for drug 
    abuse, and incomplete for mental illness.
[d] Although costs are hypothesized to occur in this category, data are 
    insufficient for a reliable estimate.
[e] Totals may not add exactly because of rounding.
