DESCRIPTION (provided by investigator): Drivers convicted of driving under the influence (DUI) are over four times more likely than the average driver to be in a fatal crash with a BAC higher than .I0. Currently, the U.S. courts require approximately two-thirds of first-time DUI offenders (those judged not to be "problem drinkers") to attend a short education program. Based on the traditional AAA Phoenix model, such programs often focus the last of four sessions on assisting participants to create a plan to avoid future drunk-driving arrests. Those plans generally focus on control of drinking. Recent research, however, suggests that offenders find it difficult to exercise control over alcohol when it is readily available and there is peer pressure to drink. An alternative approach, proposed in this study, is for the offender to avoid driving to a drinking location. Phase I of this fast-track initiative will pilot test a Level I DUI curriculum, Prevent Alcohol Related Convictions (PARC), designed to motivate offenders to plan for transportation to drinking locations and avoid driving their own vehicles. Phase II will involve a statewide, random assignment, clinical trial involving approximately 42,000 first offenders over 2 years. Information from these participants will be used to evaluate the effectiveness of the innovative curricula on DUI recidivism.

描述（由调查员提供）：被定罪在影响下驾驶的驾驶员（DUI）的可能性是普通驾驶员在致命撞车事故中的可能性超过四倍，而BAC高于.i0。目前，美国法院要求大约三分之二的首次DUI罪犯（被认为不是“饮酒者”的人）参加短暂的教育计划。基于传统的AAA凤凰模型，此类计划通常将四个会议的最后一次集中在协助参与者制定计划以避免未来的酒后驾驶逮捕计划上。这些计划通常专注于控制饮酒。然而，最近的研究表明，罪犯发现当酒精容易获得时，很难控制酒精，并且有同伴饮酒的压力。本研究中提出的另一种方法是犯罪者避免开车去饮酒地点。这项快速轨道计划的第一阶段将试用I级I DUI课程，防止与酒精有关的信念（PARC），旨在激励罪犯计划运输到饮酒地点并避免驾驶自己的车辆。第二阶段将涉及一项全州，随机分配，临床试验，涉及2年内约42,000名第一罪犯。这些参与者的信息将用于评估创新课程对DUI累犯的有效性。
