DWI INTERVENTION: A NEED FOR STANDARDIZATION ASSESSMENT AND TREATMENT APPROACHES
This paper discusses the following health/legal issues related to DUI: (1) The need for a uniform evaluation procedure for pre-trial, pre-sentence, post-sentence or diversion programs; (2) the need for standardized information gathering and dissemination system that has monitoring capabilities statewide; (3) the need for a comprehensive statewide approach to the management of DUI programs by providing counties with a concise and simple "management tool" that will facilitate an integrated statewide information system; and (4) the need for a uniform treatment system that reflects specific intervention strategies that are clinically efficient, cost effective and reflective of diverse sub-populations of DUI offenders. Since Pennsylvania has spent the last eleven years developing a statewide Alcohol Highway Safety Program, and since 95% of the counties and over 30,000 clients have been involved in the Court Reporting Network (CRN), this paper begins with the management and clinical evaluation aspects of Pennsylvania's program.
