Does Screening Classification Predict Long-term Outcomes of DWI Offenders
Methods : Interviewed 583 driving while imparied (DWI) first offenders with SUDs. Univariate and multivariate statistics were used to determine predictors of long-term outcomes.
Results : Screening classification defined groups with different treatment histories and 15-year outcomes. Current SUDs were reported by 21 and DOL by 10, of subjects.
Conclusions : Group differences suggest that screening data could be used more effectively to triage and treat DWI offenders.
