BAD DRIVERS: INDENTIFICATION OF A TARGET GROUP FOR ALCOHOL-RELATED PREVENTION AND EARLY INTERVENTION

Individuals arrested for driving while intoxicated (DWI) have been targeted for preventive intervention of alcohol-related problems. However, high rates of diagnosed alcoholism among DWI arrestees suggest a need to identify individuals at risk earlier in the developmental process. The present study investigates one such group, namely male 'bad drivers' with a history of multiple nonalcohol-related driving convictions. The results are discussed in terms of early identification and preventive interventions within the population of bad drivers.
