AN ANALYSIS OF PROBLEM DRINKER DIAGNOSIS AND REFERRAL WITHIN THE FAIRFAX ALCOHOL SAFETY ACTION PROJECT, 1972. FINAL REPORT

This report is one of a series, developed in conformance with annual reporting requirements contained within Alcohol Safety Action Projects: Evaluation. In February 1972, operations of the Fairfax Alcohol Safety Action Project (ASAP) began and these federally financed activities will be continued as a three-year demonstration project. The goal of the project is to remove the problem drinker from the highway. This report examines how those persons arrested for driving while intoxicated (DWI) are diagnosed and referred for treatment or rehabilitation. Development of this analytical study will provide an opportunity to examine the degree of success associated with getting ASAP's DWI defendants into appropriate treatment programs.
