UNASSIGNED: Assessment records for 11,640 Kentucky DUI offenders who completed an intervention in 2017 were examined. Appalachian DUI offenders were compared to non-Appalachian metro and non-metro DUI offenders. Demographic information, DUI violation details, DSM-5 substance use disorder criteria, and referral information were compared using ANCOVAs and logistic regression models.
UNASSIGNED: More than one-fourth of the sample was convicted in an Appalachian county. Compared to non-Appalachian DUI offenders, Appalachian offenders were significantly older and more likely to have a prior DUI conviction, to meet DSM-5 criteria for a drug use disorder, and to drive drug-impaired. Referral and intervention compliance also varied across groups.
UNASSIGNED: Results suggest that Appalachian DUI offenders are more drug-involved and have increased risk of recidivism. Findings indicate a need for practitioners to consider the distinct needs of Appalachian DUI offenders during service delivery. Future research should explore alternative intervention methods for preventing continued impaired driving in Appalachia given limited treatment availability in the region.
■检查了在2017年完成干预的11,640名肯塔基州DUI罪犯的评估记录。将阿巴拉契亚DUI罪犯与非阿巴拉契亚都会区和非都会区DUI罪犯进行了比较。人口统计信息,DUI违规细节,DSM-5物质使用障碍标准,使用ANCOVA和逻辑回归模型比较转诊信息。
■超过四分之一的样本在阿巴拉契亚县被定罪。与非阿巴拉契亚酒后驾车罪犯相比,阿巴拉契亚罪犯年龄明显较大,并且更有可能先前被DUI定罪,为了满足DSM-5的药物使用障碍标准,并驾驶药物受损。各组的转诊和干预依从性也各不相同。
■结果表明,阿巴拉契亚DUI罪犯更多地涉及毒品,并且累犯的风险增加。调查结果表明,从业人员需要在提供服务期间考虑阿巴拉契亚DUI罪犯的独特需求。未来的研究应该探索替代干预方法,以防止阿巴拉契亚地区持续的驾驶障碍,因为该地区的治疗方法有限。
