DRINKING DRIVER AND TRAFFIC SAFETY PROJECT. VOLUME I

A FOUR-YEAR STUDY OF DRINKING DRIVERS IS REPORTED. ON THE BASIS OF ANALYSES OF OVER 4,000 CASES, APPROXIMATELY 1400 OF WHOM HAD NO CONVICTIONS FOR DRUNK-DRIVING, AND THE REMAINDER HAD BEEN CONVICTED AT LEAST ONCE, A SIMPLIFIED PREDICTION MODEL WAS DEVELOPED WHICH IMPROVES THE DISCRIMINATION BETWEEN DRINKING DRIVERS AND NON-DRINKING DRIVERS BY APPROXIMATELY 10%. A SIMILAR LEVEL OF IMPROVEMENT WAS ACHIEVED FOR RECIDIVIST DRUNK-DRIVERS COMPARED WITH ONE-TIME DRUNK- DRIVERS. AN EXPERIMENTAL EVALUATION OF THE EFFECTS OF DIFFERENT INTERVENTION METHODS, WHICH INCLUDED AA, AN ALCOHOLIC REHABILITATION CENTER, FILMS AND LECTURES AND DIFFERENT FORMS OF GROUP THERAPY, COMPARED WITH A CONTROL GROUP WHICH WERE GIVEN CONVENTIONAL TREATMENT, WAS ALSO CARRIED OUT. /NTIS/
