DUI RECIDIVISMRelease Date: December NIH Guide: EFFECTIVENESS OF STRATEGIES FOR PREVENTING DUI RECIDIVISM EFFECTIVENESS OF STRATEGIES FOR PREVENTING DUI RECIDIVISMRelease Date: December 4, 1998PA NUMBER: PAS-99-023P.T.National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and AlcoholismNational Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Department of TransportationCenter for Substance Abuse Treatment, SAMHSAApplication Receipt Date: March 18, 1999; standard receipt dates thereafterPURPOSEThe purpose of this program announcement is to stimulate research that addressesthe problem of recidivism among people convicted of drinking and drivingoffenses. This includes individuals who are apprehended for driving under theinfluence (DUI), driving while intoxicated (DWI), or related offenses such asdriving after suspension for a DUI and violation of zero tolerance laws, and areeither convicted or otherwise sanctioned for such illegal behavior. Applicantswho respond to this program announcement are encouraged to develop researchapplications that design, develop, implement, and/or test interventions that havethe potential of preventing or reducing DUI recidivism. Such interventions maybe investigator initiated and implemented in collaboration with appropriatemembers of judicial, administrative, and policy-making bodies specifically totest or compare their efficacy in preventing or reducing DUI recidivism. Alternatively, the interventions to be studied may occur naturally in society aslaws, regulations, policies, and practices implemented by legally constitutedbodies and may be tested for their effectiveness by researchers who use theestablished methodologies of studying "natural experiments."Over the past 15 years, there has been a marked decrease in alcohol-relatedfatalities and in alcohol-impaired driving among the U.S. driving population asa whole. Research indicates that these reductions have resulted in part from theadoption and implementation of several laws by all or many States. These legalchanges include raising the minimum legal drinking age to 21 by all States,implementing administrative license revocation, increasing the severity andexpanding the types of sanctions for convicted DUI offenders, and reducinglegally acceptable BAC levels to .08 for drinking drivers. However, much remainsto be learned about the relative effectiveness of specific sanctions, singly andin combination, for violators of the aforementioned new laws. Of particularconcern is how to deal most effectively with persons with multiple DUI offenses. The goal of this program announcement is to expand research in this domain as ameans of building a firmer knowledge base to assist judges, prosecutors, andother decision makers in making choices among the various options available tothem in sanctioning DUI offenders.HEALTHY PEOPLE 2000The Public Health Service (PHS) is committed to achieving the health promotionand disease prevention objectives of "Healthy People 2000," a PHS-led nationalactivity for setting priority areas.

The extent of the problem is illustrated by the followingdata:o Of the 41,967 persons killed in traffic crashes in 1997, 16,189 (39 percent)died in alcohol-related crashes. This translates into one alcohol-related deathevery 32 minutes during 1997.o An additional 327,000 persons (about 10 percent of all those injured incrashes) received their injuries in alcohol-related crashes.o At some point in their lives, three in every 10 Americans will be involved inan alcohol-related crash.o About 1.5 million people were arrested in 1996 for driving under the influence(DUI) or driving while intoxicated (DWI).Drunk driving recidivism rates are high: approximately one-third of driversarrested or convicted of DWI each year are repeat offenders. A 1994 studypublished in the New England Journal of Medicine concluded that drivers involvedin alcohol-related fatal crashes were eight times more likely to have had DWIconvictions in the previous 5 years than drivers randomly selected from thegeneral population of licensed drivers. The National Highway Traffic SafetyAdministration (NHTSA) indicates that in 1996, about one in six drivers withpositive BAC levels who died in traffic crashes had been convicted of drivingwhile intoxicated during the three previous years. And a 1995 California studysuggests that 44 percent of drivers convicted of DUI in that State arereconvicted of DUI within 10 years.The magnitude of the DUI recidivism problem prompted NHTSA and NIAAA tocollaborate in sponsoring a series of working groups of judges, prosecutors, andalcohol researchers to discuss what is known about effective prevention andtreatment interventions for DUI offenders and to develop two guides for judges,prosecutors, and other relevant administrators to help them confront the problemof DUI offenders. A Guide to Sentencing DUI Offenders, published in 1996 by theDepartment of Transportation (DOT HS 808 365), discusses the sentencing process,factors influencing risk for recidivism, specific sanctions and remedies,rehabilitation options for offenders sentenced to treatment, compliance andreporting, and research needs. The second guide, Sentencing and Dispositions ofYouth DUI and Other Alcohol Offenses, (referred to below as the Youth Guide) iscurrently in press and focuses on youthful offenders. Because all States haveadopted laws making age 21 the minimum legal drinking age, sales to and purchase,possession, and consumption of alcohol by minors usually are illegal (althoughlaws and specific penalties vary among the States). For that reason, the YouthGuide has a broader focus of interest including laws and sanctions directed atalcohol-related offenses by persons under age 21, including DUI.Preparing the guides has made abundantly clear to NIAAA and NHTSA that theexisting knowledge base regarding the effectiveness of specific sanctions for DUIoffenders provides limited guidance for judges and other decision makers whodaily must choose among the available options. For that reason, these twoagencies, as well as the Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT), whichserved in an advisory role in the preparation of the Guides and which has astrong interest in the effectiveness of interventions with DUI offenders, arejointly inviting the research community to propose new studies that can helpaddress the fundamental unanswered questions about the outcomes and effectivenessof various sanctions singly and in combination, and which populations and underwhat conditions the interventions are most effective.Applicants should justify their choice of interventions for study based onrelevant theories of behavior change for individuals and, where possible, onexisting data suggesting positive intervention effects. Applicants shouldexplain why the chosen intervention should be expected to prevent DUI recidivism. Applicants also may propose small-scale feasibility or pilot studies as a preludeto later designing more complex intervention research.Possible Interventions for StudyIn the field of alcohol-problem prevention research, a popular way ofconceptualizing interventions is to distinguish between universal, selective, andindicated approaches in terms of certain characteristics of the target group. This typology takes into account the breadth of the target group, its risk ofhaving the disorder or problem of concern, and the benefit/cost ratio ofcommitting resources to its prevention in that particular target group. Universal approaches target entire populations or subpopulations without regardto risk; selective strategies target subgroups known to be at higher than averagerisk; and indicated interventions target persons with individual risk factorsthat require more immediate intervention.Since the objective of this research endeavor is to prevent DUI recidivism, thecritical target population is that group of people who have already been arrestedor apprehended for committing DUI, and the proposed interventions must showpromise of preventing (or reducing) their drinking, their driving, or thecombination of these behaviors. The risk of recidivism varies across theheterogeneous DUI offender population, depending on such factors as the frequencyof driving after drinking, number of prior DUI offenses, and the offender's age,sex, ethnicity, and history of alcohol-related problems. Specific subpopulationsmay be the focus of a proposed study. Of particular interest are persistent DUIoffenders who pose an especially difficult problem for both public safety and thecourts, and thus are a highly desirable focus of proposed research to reducerecidivism.Several factors known to facilitate reduction of recidivism across the spectrumof DUI offenders also should be considered, including consistency, certainty, andcoordination of sanctions. In addition, it is important that such legallyprescribed policies as mandated screening for alcohol and other drug problems andother mandatory sanctions be fully and consistently implemented; that sanctionsbe made increasingly severe for repeat offenders; that courts, evaluators,probation officers, and treatment providers be integrated into a coordinatedsystem to ensure compliance with the sentence, since failure to address non-compliance greatly undermines the effectiveness of a sanction and the authorityof the court.Sanctions imposed on DUI offenders may have several objectives. Theysimultaneously seek to 1) protect the road-using public, 2) hold the offenderaccountable to the victim and/or the community, and 3) provide education and/ortreatment to the offender through a combination of retribution, general andspecific deterrence, incapacitation, rehabilitation, and restorative justice. Thus, a combination of sanctions often is needed to achieve these goals. It isimportant to note, however, that the goal of this program of research is tomeasure the effectiveness of sanctions on recidivism. For this reason,investigators should not focus on the general deterrent effect on the drivingpublic of the countermeasure being studied. However, sanctions that are veryeffective in reducing recidivism may also have a general deterrent effect if theyare highly publicized.A number of specific intervention options identified in the Guide to SentencingDUI Offenders and the Youth Guide might be rigorously evaluated with variouspopulations in a jurisdiction in which they currently are being used. Alternatively, the sanctions may be deliberately implemented so as to facilitatesystematic evaluation in jurisdictions where they are not currently being used.Many of the sanctions identified in the guides have been assessed only with adultpopulations or have included such small samples of youth that their effectivenesswith this population has not been determined.Offender SanctionsOffenders most frequently are sentenced to jail terms (including weekenddetention), probation (with a wide range of conditions of probation), fines, andcourt-mandated license suspension/revocation. Each of these sanctions may varywidely in length or amount, as well as the conditions of supervision and may bethe subject of assessment under specific conditions or with particularsubpopulations.o Based on studies available through 1995, the Guide to Sentencing DUI Offendersconcludes that jail may be effective as a general deterrent, but it appears tobe no more effective as a specific deterrent for reducing DUI recidivism thanother sanctions, and it is far more costly. Moreover, mandatory jail sentencesmay so overload the court and correctional system that the implementation of jailsentences actually is curtailed. Nevertheless, incarceration may be the mostappropriate and/or effective sanction with certain offenders.o Weekend interventions programs provide opportunities to assess the offender'salcohol and other drug problems, permit individualized treatment plans, and allowoffenders to remain on the job. One study suggests that repeat offenders in suchprograms have lower recidivism rates than those sentenced to jail or givensuspended sentences and fines. However, more research is needed.o Detention in facilities dedicated to DUI offenders incapacitates high-riskoffenders for various lengths of time and may offer opportunities forrehabilitation services, but research on the impact of detention combined withtreatment programs is very limited.o Probation is not a single program or strategy; rather, the conditions ofprobation vary widely. Moreover, there is little data on the effectiveness ofparticular programs of varying length and scope as conditions of probation. Research might explore the short and longer-term outcomes with DUI offenders ofeach of the following sanctions or combinations of them as a condition ofprobation: intensive probation, home detention, electronic monitoring, licenseor vehicle restrictions, fines and/or community service, and attendance at victimimpact panels or at Alcoholics Anonymous. For example, a NHTSA study found thatrecidivism rates one year after sentencing were 33 percent lower for theexperimental subjects sentenced to home detention and electronic monitoring (6percent) than for those of individuals in a control group (4 percent). However,the effectiveness of most other conditions of probation, both through theprobationary period and beyond it, and the extent of compliance with theseconditions, have not been carefully assessed.o Since offenders often fail to comply with all the terms of their sentence,investigators may explore the costs and benefits of implementing variousmechanisms to increase compliance with sanctions. These might compare scheduledmeetings with the sentencing judge; increased phone monitoring by probationofficers, and brief incarceration for even minor infractions.o Based on findings that suggest drug courts have been effective in reducing therecidivism rates of drug offenders, it would be useful to test and evaluate thedrug court model with DUI offenders.Administrative Licensing ActionsThe courts share responsibility for managing DUI offenders with State departmentsof motor vehicles (DMVs). DMV agencies maintain critical records and haveadministrative power to suspend a driver's license and vehicle registration andto determine when a suspended offender is eligible for reinstatement. Althoughadministrative license suspension (ALS) and revocation (ALR) are civil actions,they have been found to be among the most effective in reducing DUI recidivism. In contrast, judicial license suspension is a post-conviction action ordered bythe court.o Studies of administrative license suspension clearly indicate that it iseffective in reducing DUI recidivism and the risk of crash involvement amongdrinking drivers. Optimal suspension periods appear to be between 12 and 18months, but suspension periods tend to be shorter, in part, because it isbelieved that suspension has a negative impact on a driver's employment andfamily welfare. Although some research suggests that job loss is not a majorproblem, it continues to be a significant factor in persuading courts not toimpose license restrictions as a sanction. The length and impact of thissanction merits further rigorous study.o Researchers might assess the effectiveness of various civil remedies or court-based sanctions for driving after suspension, which is a serious offense thatoccurs frequently, but appears to be addressed inconsistently.Vehicle-related SanctionsSeveral recent studies suggest that efforts to reduce illegal driving byconvicted alcohol-impaired drivers through vehicle impoundment, license plateimpoundment and tagging, and/or use of alcohol ignition interlocks may all beeffective, both during and after the sanction period. While there is a growingbody of research on ignition interlocks, research on other vehicle restrictionsis limited; thus, investigators might usefully explore the effectiveness of othervehicle sanctions during and after the sanction period.o Recent data on the effectiveness of vehicle impoundment suggests thatrecidivism and crashes can be reduced for suspended license offenders. Data onvehicle forfeiture are limited and might be further studied, particularly theconditions under which this intervention can be effective. For example, whetherforfeiture is equally effective with all groups of offenders and the optimalduration of different vehicle-related sanctions are unclear.o Vehicle tagging (the placement of a sticker over portions of the license plateindicating that the owner has a suspended driver's license) appeared to reducetraffic violations and crashes when it was implemented in Oregon. Furtherexamination of this administrative approach would be valuable.Treatment and Rehabilitation OptionsThe research literature on the treatment of alcoholism is largely silent on thespecific treatment needs and most effective approaches for the subcategory ofpersons who enter the treatment system as a result of a court order followingapprehension and/or conviction for DUI. It is unknown, for example, whethertreatment programs found to have been effective with voluntary patients (e.g.,cognitive behavioral therapy) also are effective with those ordered by the courtto enter them. A meta-analysis of 225 intervention/treatment programs for DUIoffenders (including educational programs and well as self-help, outpatient, andinpatient treatment programs), indicated that such programs could reducerecidivism by 7 to 9 percent. For many first offenders, the shock of beingarrested and exposure to offender education classes may have been sufficient todeter further DUI. Nevertheless, the content, format, and number of educationalmaterials probably varied widely and was not rigorously assessed. Sincerecidivists tend to exhibit higher rates of alcoholism and more alcohol-relatedproblems than first-time DUI offenders, treatment interventions in a criminaljustice setting with the recidivist population also merit further examination. Other treatment-related research questions include how to sustain abstinence andprevent relapse with various groups of DUI offenders following treatment interventions.o Educational programs may include didactic lectures on the medical and legalconsequences of drinking or DUI, discussions that more actively involveoffenders, and/or video presentations. One study found that for non-alcoholic DUIoffenders, education reduced recidivism somewhat more than did fines alone. Itis unclear, however, what program content is most effective and what period ofinvolvement is most effective in reducing recidivism.o Data on treatment effectiveness is limited but suggests that recidivism maybe reduced among DUI problem drinkers if they are required to participate for atleast a year in an intensive treatment program that involves weekly therapysessions and bi-weekly individual interviews with either a therapist or probationofficer. Project MATCH found that alcohol dependent (but not necessarily DUIoffender) clients treated in both inpatient and outpatient sites were equallylikely to reduce their drinking in response to three treatments (cognitive-behavioral therapy, motivational enhancement therapy, and twelve-stepfacilitation). The effectiveness of these treatment regimes under conditions ofcourt coercion with the DUI offender population might be usefully explored.o Research findings are mixed, and further study is needed concerning theeffectiveness of diversion programs where prosecution is deferred while theoffenders undergo long-term treatment. Similarly, studies might be undertakenthat test the effects of deferred prosecution following informal probation andcommunity service, or other such conditions.o Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) is the most popular self-help group for alcoholics. However, it is not clear how AA can be used most effectively as an interventionstrategy for DUI offenders.An additional challenge to the court and to researchers is how to integrate thethree sanction areas-- license suspension, alcohol education and treatment, andpunitive sanctions such as jail -- that currently are used to manage DUIoffenders. Combining treatment with incarceration or brief interventions withcourt processing and screening, for example, may be occurring and should beevaluated.Specific Issues for Youth-Focused ResearchIn the absence of tested adolescent-specific interventions, many of the sanctionsidentified above (whether age-appropriate or not) have been applied to youthfulDUI offenders as well as adults but have not been rigorously evaluated with ayouthful population. In addition, there is a need to develop and testinterventions specifically tailored to the developmental and social needs ofadolescents. These may be novel approaches (as long as theoretically orempirically justified), or investigators may modify common adult interventionsto make them age-appropriate. Researchers should note, however, that there arespecial challenges and research issues that arise in addressing youthful DUIoffenders. Some are related to the fact that their special age status permitsmany alcohol-related cases involving youth to be handled by the juvenile court. It is not known, for example, whether the court to which a youth's alcohol-related offense is referred (traffic, juvenile, criminal or family court) resultsin different sanctions and whether these, in turn, result in different complianceand recidivism rates. Other questions are related to the implementation andoutcomes of special laws that apply only to youth. These include zero tolerancelaws requiring that they have no measurable BAC level when driving or risk lossof driving privileges. Further uncertainties revolve around the role andresponsibility of parents for minor children and how best to involve them in thesanctioning process.o There are now more than 280 teen courts operating in 31 States. These aredesigned to hold offenders accountable for their actions while freeing courtdockets. Individual programs have conducted internal evaluations of theireffectiveness, but there has been no standardized overall evaluation of teencourts.o License suspension and revocation may be particularly effective among youthsince the driver's license is an especially prized possession among them. Studies of license actions among youth might usefully explore the optimum periodof license suspension and revocation among young people, which may differ fromthat of adults due to zero tolerance laws.o The evidence is mixed regarding the effects of community service on recidivismor crashes among adult DUI offenders. It has not been evaluated among youthfuloffenders but may be particularly appropriate as a form of restorative justicefor youth given their limited ability to pay financial restitution and lowerlikelihood of need for alcohol treatment. Other forms of restorative justicethat merit further systematic evaluation particularly among youth include victim-offender mediation, attendance at victim impact panels, and emergency departmentvisitation.o The potential involvement of parents in the youth sanctioning process and theeffects of their involvement merit study. For example, does their attendance atcourt proceedings, in parenting skills classes, or in restitution programs withtheir children reduce the recidivism of youthful offenders?Methodological Issues and Outcome MeasuresTo assess the efficacy of interventions and the effectiveness of interventionprograms for DUI offenders, researchers may propose experimental or quasi-experimental study designs, as well as secondary analyses of existing data setsthat permit tests of the effectiveness of sanctions but where the data have notbeen fully or appropriately exploited. The selection of interventions fortesting should be theory-driven whenever possible. Formal theories postulatingmechanisms of change from a particular intervention may be drawn frommultidisciplinary sources such as the behavioral, biomedical, developmental,and/or social sciences. For example, Jessor's problem behavior theory, Bandura'ssocial learning theory and Prochaska and DeClemente's stages of change theory maybe useful.Research to establish the efficacy of an intervention must include appropriatecomparison groups. The single most powerful procedure available to provideunbiased comparison groups is the random assignment of subjects to experimentaland control conditions. While courts have often opposed randomization asantithetical to individualized sentencing, many judges appreciate the need forrandomization and its justice were the alternative sentences appear to be ofequivalent severity and their relative effectiveness is unknown. Similarly, aproposed intervention that cannot be assigned to all eligible offenders due toresource limitations may use randomization to offer all eligible offenders anequal opportunity to enter the program or obtain the treatment.Proposals that use quasi-experimental designs, including natural experiments thatuse time-series analyses, are also welcome. Whatever the chosen methodologicaldesign and analysis plan, they must be justified in terms of theirappropriateness for the task at hand. Applicants must defend their choice ofmethods in terms of their scientific credibility, but pragmatic considerationsmay also be relevant. For example, randomization may not be acceptable toauthorities in the particular judicial system in which the proposed study willtake place; or the law may mandate that a new naturally occurring interventionthat the applicant proposes to evaluate must be universally applied, forcing theinvestigator to seek appropriate controls elsewhere. Where randomization isproposed, applicants must be able to justify "treatment indifference" from anethical perspective -- i.e., that the intervention to be tested has not beenproven to be superior (or inferior) to the alternative intervention(s). Otherwise, it may be unethical to propose randomization.Researchers also should address potential problems of (a) self selection and (b)sample attrition, as well as assure (c) sufficient statistical power to detectdifferences in intervention efficacy or effectiveness when they really exist. Even where the principal investigator has strong methodological skills, it maybe advisable to include among the research team an expert in study design and/orstatistics.Since the purpose of this program announcement is to stimulate research oninterventions to prevent or reduce DUI recidivism, outcome measures (orendpoints) must be relevant to this objective. Direct evidence of recidivism mayinclude alcohol-related crashes, and reconvictions, rearrests, or new citationsfor DUI. Because offender self-reports of violations would in many instancesconstitute an admission of illegal behavior that could lead to additionalsanctions, self reports are likely to produce biased and unreliable data. Ifused as an outcome measure, they should be augmented with corroborativeinformation from collaterals or archival data.With respect to reducing DUI recidivism and alcohol-involved traffic crashes,mediating and moderating variables may affect the outcome. Both program inputs(e.g., more intense monitoring) and program outputs (e.g., increased perceptionof the risk of sanctions for drinking and driving) may contribute to suchintermediate changes as reduced drinking or modified driving behaviors. Increating intervention programs, researchers need to identify and model theanticipated mediating and moderating factors that are likely to contribute tointermediate and more distal changes in the outcome measures. Such factors mayinclude dispositional and personality characteristics (e.g., sensation-seeking),offender perceptions of risk of apprehension for violating the sanction andactual enforcement mechanisms, and integrity of the delivery of the intervention(e.g., whether the education program is delivered as described by the provider). While the DUI outcome is the ultimate measure of program effectiveness,explanatory models of the change process, measures of program implementation andintegrity, and data identifying the sociodemographic and personalitycharacteristics of the study population are essential elements in the cumulativeprocess of understanding program success or failure and linkages between theintervention processes and their outcomes.The complexity of the problem and difficulties in establishing new programs forstudy suggest that some investigators may prefer to design feasibility studies. These might address such issues as how best to operationalize interventions foruse in specific real-world legal or jurisdictional environments; the feasibility,costs, and relative effectiveness of having different types of individuals in acommunity (e.g., professionals, paraprofessionals, or community-based volunteerswho receive special training) perform offender screening or act as probationofficers; or constructing or adapting protocols for use among culturally diverseor youthful populations.Given the complex nature of the specific research problem and the desirabilityof implementing a true experimental design if possible, collaborative effortsbetween researchers and justice system practitioners are strongly encouraged. For example, researchers with expertise in alcohol treatment, criminal justice,and traffic safety research may wish to collaborate with criminal justice systempractitioners including judges, treatment providers, and/or probation departmentpersonnel to maximize the competence of the study team investigating differentaspects of the common topic.INCLUSION OF WOMEN AND MINORITIES IN RESEARCH INVOLVING HUMAN SUBJECTSIt is the policy of the NIH that women and members of minority groups and theirsubpopulations must be included in all NIH supported biomedical and behavioralresearch projects involving human subjects, unless a clear and compellingrationale and justification is provided that inclusion is inappropriate withrespect to the health of the subjects or the purpose of the research.
