“…For example, evaluations of the Intensive Supervision Program, which consists of DUI education, substance use treatment, and electronic monitoring (among other forms of monitoring), have consistently reported significant reductions in DUI recidivism (15,43,44). In addition, four out of the five education programs which reported reductions in recidivism included multiple components (29,(31)(32)(33). The only study that evaluated the effects of education alone found no reduction in recidivism at one-year follow-up (30).…”

“…As stand-alone education programs have previously been found to be ineffective, this approach is often included as a component of a larger intervention program (29). Six studies focused on evaluating the impact of education programs on reducing DUI offenses (29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34). Five studies demonstrated a reduction in DUI recidivism after the completion of the education program (29,(31)(32)(33)(34), although all comprised extra components including motivation enhancement (29) and the development of an avoidance plan (29,32).…”

Background: Driving under the influence (DUI) is a major cause of death and disability. Although a broad array of programs designed to curb DUI incidents are currently offered to both firsttime and recidivist DUI offenders, existing evaluations of the effectiveness of these programs have reported mixed results. Objective: To synthesize the results of DUI program evaluations and determine the strength of the available evidence for reducing recidivism for different types of programs. Methods: A systematic review of all EBSCO databases, EMBASE, PubMed, ProQuest, Sociological Abstracts and TRIS was conducted to identify evaluations of treatments/ interventions to prevent DUI offenses. Additional articles were identified from reference lists of relevant articles. Results: A total of 42 relevant studies were identified by the search strategy. Of these, 33 utilized non-experimental evaluation designs or reported insufficient data to allow effect sizes to be calculated, making meta-analysis unfeasible. Evaluations of several different program types reported evidence of some level of effectiveness. Conclusion: Because of the general lack of high quality evidence assessing the effectiveness of DUI prevention programs, it is not possible to make conclusive statements about the types of programs that are likely to be most effective. Nonetheless, there was some evidence to support the effectiveness of programs that utilize intensive supervision and education. There is a need for future evaluations to adopt more scientifically rigorous research designs to establish the effects of these programs.

“…In terms of OUI, brief ME intervention was found to result in decreased 3-year rearrest rates in one study (Schermer et al, 2006), but in another study 5-year rearrest rates were only decreased among younger individuals (i.e., <43 years old) (Ouimet et al, 2013). In contrast to these relatively brief interventions, Robertson et al (2009) examined two iterations of a more intensive (10-12 h), group-delivered, ME program for OUI offenders. They found that a version incorporating ME content and facilitator training was associated with lower 3-year rearrest rates than a previous version that did not incorporate these elements (Robertson et al, 2009).…”

Operating a motor vehicle under the influence of alcohol (OUI) is an international problem. In the United States, one intervention strategy is to require offenders to attend group-delivered interventions. We compared three year rearrest rates among 12,267 individuals in Maine receiving either a motivation-enhancing (ME) program, Prime For Life(®), or historical standard care (SC) programs. We created two cohorts, one when Maine used SC (9/1/1999-8/31/2000) and one after the ME program was implemented (9/1/2002-8/31/2003). Adjusted for control variables, rearrest rates among people not completing an assigned program did not differ for the ME versus SC cohorts (12.1% and 11.6%, respectively; OR=1.05, ns). In contrast, ME compared to SC program completers had lower rearrest rates (7.4% versus 9.9%, OR=0.73, p<.05). The same pattern occurred for people required to take these programs plus substance use treatment (12.1% versus 14.7%, OR=0.82, p<.01). For those rearrested, time to rearrest did not differ between ME and SC cohorts. Among those required to have substance abuse treatment, ME and SC arrest rates did not differ for younger individuals; otherwise, the ME cohort's lower rearrest rates occurred across gender, age, having a previous OUI, and having completed a previous intervention program.

“…In the U.S., a curriculum reform in education programs aimed at offenders has been implemented (similar to refresher courses in Brazil), focusing on driving skills, preventive actions, and consequences of drunk drinking, and has successfully reduced relapse rates. 28 Considering license categories, our data indicate that categories A, E, and AE were protective factors against DUI when compared to other categories. This can be partially explained by the perceived potential risk associated with these vehicle types, namely motorcycles and large/heavy vehicles: motorcycles show a higher risk for motorcyclist injuries.…”

Objective: To analyze variables associated with recurrence of blood alcohol content (BAC)-related traffic violations among drivers in southern Brazil. Method: This cross-sectional study included 12,204 driving-under-the-influence (DUI) offenders according to data provided by the Rio Grande do Sul state Transportation Department. Sociodemographic characteristics, license duration, license category, and psychological assessment results were analyzed. Drivers convicted of DUI more than once in 2009/2010 were considered recidivists. Variables were evaluated using descriptive statistical analysis and Poisson regression, adjusted by sex, age, and education level. Results: A total of 538 (4.41%) drivers were considered recidivists. The following variables showed the strongest associations with recidivism: being aged 41-50 years (prevalence ratio [PR] = 3.41), being licensed for o 12 years (PR = 1.86), being licensed for motorcycles, cars and trucks (PR = 1.36), having a license with psychological restrictions (PR = 1.33), and driving a truck or a similar vehicle at the moment of notification (PR = 1.08). Conclusions: In the age group with the highest risk for recurrence, drivers showed a higher probability of having a diagnosis of alcohol dependence and other psychiatric comorbidities that hinder the control of alcohol use. Psychological assessments seem to be important in predicting repeat offenses, especially when limited aptitudes are suspected, and should therefore be better investigated.
