“…5; 6 In addition to the considerable emotional and physical pain caused by these crashes, the estimated economic cost of alcohol-related crashes in 2000 was $51 billion. 7 As a society, we must do more to reduce the toll that impaired driving takes on our citizens.…”

Context We compared the prevalence of alcohol use and other psychiatric disorders in offenders 15 years after a first conviction for driving while impaired with a general population sample. Objective To determine whether high rates of addictive and other psychiatric disorders previously demonstrated in this sample remain disproportionately higher compared with a matched general population sample. Design Point-in-time cohort study. Setting Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation, Albuquerque, New Mexico. Participants We interviewed convicted first offenders using the Composite International Diagnostic Interview 15 years after referral to a screening program in Bernalillo County, New Mexico. We calculated rates of diagnoses for non-Hispanic white and Hispanic women (n=362) and men (n=220) adjusting for missing data using multiple imputation and compared psychiatric diagnoses with findings from the National Comorbidity Survey Replication by sex and Hispanic ethnicity. Results Eleven percent of non-Hispanic white women and 12.8% of Hispanic women in the driving while impaired sample reported 12-month alcohol abuse or dependence, compared with 1.0% and 1.8%, respectively, in the National Comorbidity Survey Replication (comparison) sample. Almost 12% of non-Hispanic white men and 17.5% of Hispanic men in the driving while impaired sample reported 12-month alcohol abuse or dependence, compared with to 2.0% and 1.8%, respectively, in the comparison sample. These differences were statistically significant. Rates of drug use disorders and nicotine dependence were also elevated compared with the general population sample, while rates of major depressive disorder and posttraumatic stress disorder were similar. Conclusion In this sample, high rates of addictive disorders persisted over 10 years among first offenders and greatly exceeded those found in a general population sample.

“…Moreover, this protocol seems suitable to assess driving impairment as it evaluates all the essential driving abilities (Kay and Logan, 2011). Furthermore, several studies prove that mood state (Desteno et al, 2000), audio-visual perturbations (Pascolo et al, 2009), alcohol and drugs (Liguori et al, 2002;Pascolo et al, 2009) also influence cognitive load (working memory) and/or posture control.…”

“…In fact, it evaluates all essential driving abilities (Kay and Logan, 2011), that is the following behavioural domains: alertness, attention, psychomotor functions, sensory functions and executive functions. Moreover, it overcomes some of the limitations that SFST and fluid analysis have.…”

“…Likewise, today's commission would, like its predecessor, recommend research into the consequences of marijuana use, particularly the long‐term impact and medical application. More pressingly, it would recommend research to detect acute impairment; at present, there is little confidence that tests can relate use to current impairment (Kay and Logan, ).…”

Fifty years ago, the U.S. President's Commission on Law Enforcement and Administration of Justice saw drugs as a modest but growing problem for the criminal justice system. The reemergence of heroin occupied the Commission's attention. Many recommendations are admirable, such as a focus on public health interventions and a concern about the appropriateness of criminal prohibitions on marijuana use. Throughout the past 50 years, the problem has both massively expanded and changed in many ways; the principal drug of abuse has shifted multiple times, as has the populations most affected by them. Policy, largely stuck on tough enforcement for 30 years, is now moving in a direction more consistent with the Commission's views. Researchers have made only modest advances in understanding what enforcement can do to reduce drug use and related problems, but society has made some progress in developing interventions that have both a sound theoretical base and the promise of avoiding the unintended negative consequences of the highly punitive system of the 1980s and 1990s. A Commission in 2018 would face a much different and larger problem that has transformed many aspects of criminal justice. Investing in more data collection and evaluation research would be among its major recommendations, as would an admission of considerable uncertainty about what to do with the latest twist in the U.S. drug problem, the addition of the much more dangerous fentanyls.
