项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The literature on drug-impaired driving has not experienced the same growth as the alcohol-related DUI literature despite the early and continued recognition that drug-impaired driving is a major public health concern. This application proposes a study to examine alcohol-impaired and drug-impaired driving in rural Appalachia, a group of DUI offenders who are virtually unstudied. Although some counties in rural Appalachia allow alcohol sales (wet counties), several do not allow alcohol to be sold (dry counties), or limit alcohol sales to certain towns (moist counties). DUI remains a frequent crime in rural Appalachia despite these differing levels of alcohol availability. The high rates of prescription drug abuse in rural Appalachia may contribute to the incidence of DUI in these areas. In this pilot study, a sample of 120 rural Appalachian DUI offenders, stratified by level of alcohol sales restriction (wet, dry, or moist county), will be interviewed. The specific aims for this project are to: (1) Describe individual characteristics of rural Appalachian DUI offenders, including socio-demographic information, alcohol and drug use histories, attitudes and beliefs about alcohol and drug use, and history of impaired driving; (2) Identify similarities and differences between individuals from rural Appalachian DUI offenders who have driven under the influence of drugs and rural Appalachian DUI offenders who have driven under the influence of alcohol but not drugs; and (3) Identify similarities and differences between rural Appalachian DUI offenders convicted in counties with varying levels of alcohol sales restriction. The overall aim of this project is to add to our understanding of alcohol- and drug-impaired driving in rural Appalachia. The long term objective of this project is to collect data to be used by this new investigator to develop a competitive R01 application to design and test a tailored intervention for rural Appalachian DUI offenders that equally addresses alcohol- and drug-impaired driving. More than 35 million Americans drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs per year. This project will collect information to compare alcohol-impaired drivers to drug-impaired drivers from rural Appalachia, an understudied area yet known to have high levels of alcohol and prescription drug abuse. The long term objective of the project is to develop an intervention to reduce impaired driving in this area.

描述（由申请人提供）：尽管早期且继续认识到，毒品损坏的驾驶是主要的公共卫生问题，但有关毒品障碍驾驶的文献并未经历与酒精有关的DUI文献的增长。该申请提出了一项研究，以检查阿巴拉契亚农村地区的饮酒障碍和毒品受损驾驶，这是一群几乎没有研究的DUI罪犯。尽管阿巴拉契亚农村地区的一些县允许酒精销售（湿县），但有些县不允许出售酒精（干县），也不允许酒精销售，或者将酒精销售限制在某些城镇（潮湿的县）。尽管饮酒水平不同，但在阿巴拉契亚州农村地区，DUI仍然是犯罪。阿巴拉契亚农村地区的处方药滥用率很高，可能会导致这些地区的DUI发病率。在这项试点研究中，将采访120名阿巴拉契亚DUI农村DUI罪犯，并根据酒精销售限制（湿，干或潮湿的县）进行了分层。该项目的具体目的是：（1）描述阿巴拉契亚DUI罪犯的个人特征，包括社会人口统计学信息，酒精和毒品使用历史，对酒精和吸毒的态度和信念以及驾驶受损的历史；（2）确定来自阿巴拉契亚DUI农村DUI罪犯的个人之间的相似性和差异，这些罪犯是在毒品和阿巴拉契亚DUI罪犯的影响下驾驶的，这些罪犯在酒精的影响下驾驶而不是毒品；（3）确定阿巴拉契亚DUI农村DUI罪犯被定罪的相似之处和差异，其酒精销售限制水平不同。该项目的总体目的是增加我们对阿巴拉契亚乡村酒精和毒品不受欢迎的驾驶的理解。该项目的长期目标是收集该新研究人员使用的数据，以开发有竞争力的R01应用程序，以设计和测试针对同样解决酒精和毒品障碍驾驶的农村阿巴拉契亚DUI罪犯的量身定制干预措施。每年酒精或毒品的影响下，超过3500万美国人开车。该项目将收集信息，以比较来自阿巴拉契亚农村地区的毒品障碍司机，该驾驶员是阿巴拉契亚农村地区的毒品障碍司机。该项目的长期目标是制定干预措施，以减少该领域的驾驶受损。
