项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The extensive evidence that vehicle alcohol interlocks reduce recidivism of driving under the influence (DUI) offenders by two-thirds has resulted in a national effort-led by Mothers Against Drunk Driving and supported by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration-to encourage all states to enact laws requiring interlocks for all DUI offenders. This, in turn, has led to a rapid growth in the application of these devices; approximately 300,000 interlock devices are currently in use. A major limitation in their effectiveness, however, is that the safety benefit they produce occurs only during the 6- to 12-month period while installed on offenders' vehicles, a relatively short segment of time in which their high-risk driving is controlled compared to the lifetime of driving that follows. There is strong evidence that, during that period on the interlock, most offenders adapt their drinking and driving to avoid being prevented from starting their cars, and that those who do so have lower recidivism following interlock removal. In contrast, those who fail to adapt and continue to have lockouts have greater recidivism following device removal. Thus, an important opportunity exists to create interventions promoting adaptation to the interlock, thereby reducing recidivism and extending benefits. This application takes advantage of a close working relationship between the Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation and the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles. This relationship (developed over a decade of research covering 150,000 DUIs) has provided the basis for the department's agreement to assist in our proposed survey of 6oo offenders on their entrance and exit from the interlock program. This exploratory research aims to develop a typology of interlock users that will help program managers predict which offenders will have problems adapting to the interlock and understand how interlock users adapt their drinking and driving behavior to the interlock experience. Ultimately, this information can lead to the development of an intervention designed to help offenders preserve the improved health behaviors adopted while on the interlock device.

描述（由申请人提供）：大量证据表明，车辆酒精联锁装置可将酒后驾驶 (DUI) 罪犯的累犯率降低三分之二，这导致了由母亲反醉酒驾驶组织牵头并得到国家公路交通安全部门支持的全国性努力行政部门——鼓励所有州颁布法律，要求所有酒驾违法者配备联锁装置，这反过来又导致了这些装置的应用迅速增长，大约有 300,000 个。然而，目前使用的装置的有效性的一个主要限制是，它们产生的安全效益仅在安装在违法者车辆上的 6 至 12 个月内显现，这是其高效率的相对较短的一段时间。 - 与随后的驾驶生涯相比，风险驾驶得到了控制。有强有力的证据表明，在联锁期间，大多数违法者会调整酒后驾驶以避免被阻止启动汽车，而这样做的人会这样做。解除联锁后的累犯率较低。相比之下，那些未能适应并继续停工的人在设备移除后会再次犯罪。因此，存在一个重要的机会来制定促进适应联锁的干预措施，从而减少累犯并扩大利益。该应用程序利用了密切的工作关系。太平洋研究与评估研究所与佛罗里达州公路安全和机动车辆部之间的这种关系（经过十多年的研究，涉及 150,000 起酒驾事故）为该部门同意协助我们拟议的调查奠定了基础。 6oo 违规者进入和退出联锁项目这项探索性研究旨在开发联锁用户的类型学，这将帮助项目管理者预测哪些违规者在适应联锁方面会遇到问题，并了解联锁用户如何适应他们的酒后驾驶行为。最终，这些信息是互锁的。可以导致开发一种干预措施，旨在帮助罪犯保持在联锁装置上所采取的改善的健康行为。
