Changing the drink-driving culture: evaluating the OFTR group intervention
Impaired (Drink/Drug) driving remains a serious problem in New Zealand (NZ). In 2019 alcohol/drugs were a factor in 37% of road deaths (NZTA, 2021), with 47% being repeat offenders (Waters, 2013). Preventing recidivists from re-offending is likely to have the greatest impact on alcohol-related crashes (Roadsafe Auckland, 2001). One for the Road (OFTR) is a New Zealand (NZ) based group therapy intervention for repeat drink/drug drivers. Since 2008 this programme has been developed to achieve a best practice approach unique to NZ. Recently an online component has been developed to assist access. Attendees through the justice or licensing system. A rigorous matched control group evaluation (Waters, 2019) supported programme effectiveness with a 20.2% reduction in reoffending over 3 years, providing validation and an opportunity for and programme development. This presentation offers an overview of the OFTR group content and process, highlighting learnings regarding best practice in Drink Driver Rehabilitation.
