DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Court-mandated DUI programs may prove to be key entry points into the treatment system for individuals who often are not identified in any other setting. There is a growing proportion of individuals in the U.S. who are near or in retirement, and a larger cohort of 'Baby Boomers' who will reach late life in the coming , decades; these cohorts may drink at higher levels than previously reported and may experience greater alcohol-related consequences including DUI arrests. Given this lack of knowledge regarding the relationship between age, alcohol use outcomes, and service use among adults experiencing legal consequences of their alcohol use (e.g., court-mandated DUI programs), and the increasing numbers of middle-aged and older adults in the U.S., the proposed prospective observational study will recruit and interview (at baseline) a consecutive cohort (n=200) of aging adults (age 55 and older) and gender and ethnicity/race matched cohorts of adults at mid-life (age 40-54; n=200) and younger ages (age 18-39; n=200) participating in a model DUI program. The Wright State University Weekend Intervention Program (WIP) is a 3-day psychosocial program that is an alternative to incarceration. The specific aims of the proposed study are to: 1) determine the age-related variations in predisposing, enabling, and need characteristics (e.g. demographics, current and past alcohol use and consequences, health services use, history of treatment, and barriers to seeking treatment, history of previous DUIs, and criminal justice determination following (the Index DUI intervention) of the three age groups of court-mandated clients participating in a nationally-recognized DUI driver intervention program; 2) examine age-related variations in referral, linkage and engagement in formal and informal substance abuse treatment in the 18-months following participation in a DUI intervention program, and to identify the key characteristics associated with types of service use; and 3) measure the differences by age group in the longitudinal course of drinking, changes in alcohol-related behaviors, and physical/psychosocial status. In order to understand both proximal and more distal outcomes, follow-up assessments will be conducted at 6-, 12-, and 18-months. This study will provide critical new knowledge regarding the age-related similarities and differences of adults in younger- to mid- to later-life at one of the important junctures in the intervention and treatment engagement process.

描述（由申请人提供）：法院规定的DUI计划可能被证明是在任何其他环境中经常被确定的个人的关键切入点。在美国附近或退休的人中，越来越多的人，还有更多的“婴儿潮一代”队列，他们将在未来的几十年中达到后期的生活；这些队列可能比以前报道的更高的水平喝酒，并且可能会遇到与酒精有关的后果，包括DUI逮捕。鉴于缺乏有关年龄，饮酒结果以及成年人之间遇到饮酒法律后果（例如，法院规定的DUI计划）的关系的知识，以及在美国的中年和老年人的越来越多的前瞻性观察性研究将招募和培训（基线）和旧的竞争（n = 200）（n = 200）（n = 2005）（n = 2005）参加模型DUI计划的中年（40-54岁； n = 200）和年轻年龄（18-39岁； n = 200）的成年人队列。 赖特州立大学周末干预计划（WIP）是一个为期3天的社会心理计划，是监禁的替代方案。 The specific aims of the proposed study are to: 1) determine the age-related variations in predisposing, enabling, and need characteristics (e.g. demographics, current and past alcohol use and consequences, health services use, history of treatment, and barriers to seeking treatment, history of previous DUIs, and criminal justice determination following (the Index DUI intervention) of the three age groups of court-mandated clients participating in a nationally-recognized DUI driver intervention计划; 2）在参加DUI干预计划后的18个月中，检查与年龄相关的变体，与正式和非正式药物滥用治疗的转诊和非正式药物滥用治疗的变化，并确定与服务类型相关的关键特征； 3）在纵向饮酒过程中衡量划分的差异，与酒精相关行为的变化以及身体/社会心理状况。为了了解近端和更远端的结果，将在6岁，12个月和18个月进行随访评估。这项研究将提供有关年龄相关的相似性和成年人在干预和治疗参与过程中重要的关头之一的成年人相关性和差异的关键知识。
