“…Examination of demographic structures of the target population could ultimately assist the DUI intervention planner in deciding which interventions to offer. The finding that demographics specify intervention effects also is consistent with typological analyses in that subtypes identified using personality/attitudinal, behavioural, or alcohol usage domains have generally been found to differ regarding race (Steer et al, 1979;Arstein-Kerslake & Peck, 1986;Wells-Parker et al, 1986); age (Donovan & Marlatt, 1982;Arstein-Kerslake & Peck, 1986;Wells-Parker et al, 1986), and education (Arstein-Kerslake & Peck, 1986).…”

“…Studies have shown that these dimensions are related to high risk driving behavior, recidivism, and/or accident involvement (Perrine, 1975;Donovan & Marlatt, 1982;Wells-Parker et al, 1986;Mann et al, 1987;Pang et al, in press;McMillen et al, in press). In this regard, multidimensional typologies of DUI offenders have identified clinically relevant subtypes that would appear to benefit from some forms of intervention more than others (Steer et al, 1979;Sutker et al, 1980;Donovan & Marlatt, 1982;Wells-Parker et al, 1986;Arstein-Kerslake & Peck, 1986;Mann, 1988). Demographic characteristics also have been found to specify intervention effectiveness.…”

Using long-term DUI (Driving Under the Influence of Alcohol) arrest recidivism data from a controlled study of DUI intervention effectiveness, interactions among DUI interventions, age, race, education, and alcohol severity were estimated using logit analysis. Data were collected in a 9-year follow-up study of the Mississippi DUI Probation Project. The effects of short-term interventions (alcohol education schools for low alcohol severity offenders and structured group interventions for high alcohol severity offenders) were specified by educational level. Short-term rehabilitation was modestly effective for those with less than 12 years of education, but less effective or detrimental for the more highly educated. The effects of probation were specified by age and education, being more effective for those under 30 years and 55 years or older than for the middle age group. Probation was most effective for well-educated older (55+) offenders. An analysis of the under 30 years group also suggested that probation was especially effective for young well-educated Minority offenders.

“…The criminal justice system and most treatment programs treat DWI offenders as if they were part of a homogeneous group (Argeriou, McCarty, & Blacker, 1985). Several researchers have pointed out that the failure to distinguish individual differences in the DWI population may be the reason for the high rate of unsuccessful DWI intervention programs (Steer, Fine, & Scoles, 1979;Sutker, Brantely, & Allain, 1980). Thus, a variety of studies have indicated differences between DWI offenders when compared to other groups and have attempted to assess the severity of problem drinking among DWI populations.…”

“…These problems taken together suggest that legal measures alone are not sufficient to prevent drunk driving. Therefore, major undertakings have been directed toward identifying factors that are associated with drunk driving in an effort to increase the effectiveness of treatment programs (e.g., Bell, Warheit, Bell, & Saunders, 1978;Cosper & Mozersky, 1968;Weeber, 1981;Yoder & Moore, 1973;Donovan & Marlatt, 1982;Donovan, Marlatt, & Salzberg, 1983;Steer, Fine, & Scoles. 1979;Beck, 1981;Cameron, 1982;Perrine, 1970;Donovan et al, 1983;Jaccard, Turrisi, & Hubley, 1989).…”

The present study uses psychological theories of judgment and decision making in analyzing cognitions relevant to drunk driving decisions. Four groups of individuals were examined: (a) those having multiple convictions for drunk driving, (b) those having one conviction for drunk driving, (c) those never having been convicted of drunk driving but, who admit to having driven while intoxicated, and (d) those who drive, but claim to not have driven while intoxicated. Cognitions examined included perceived drunkenness relative to legally allowable blood alcohol levels for driving, perceived probabilities for being stopped and arrested and being involved in an automobile accident if driving drunk, and drunk driving tendencies. Perceived probabilities of being stopped and arrested and being involved in an accident were evaluated as a function of manipulations of 4 cues in a 2 X 2 X 4 X 3 factorial design (Distance to Destination X Weather and Road Conditions X Number of Drinks X Time to Consume). Perceived drunkenness was evaluated as a function of the manipulations of two cues in a 4 X 3 factorial design (Number of Drinks Consumed X Time to Consume). Results indicated the presence of several misperceptions and inappropriate response tendencies that potentially can be modified with educational efforts. These results are discussed in terms of the differential impact of previous arrest for DWI on different DW1-related judgments.
