目标。本研究旨在评估一个28天的拘留和治疗项目的效果，该项目在一个多民族的县进行，该县与酒精相关的逮捕率和撞车率很高，对因酒后驾驶（DWI）而被判刑的初犯者。我们使用基线特征的比较，随后逮捕的生存曲线，以及Cox比例风险回归来检查被判刑者和未被判刑者再次被捕的概率。校正协变量后，治疗组不再次被捕的概率显著高于治疗组。在5年的时间里，接受治疗和未接受治疗的人不被再次逮捕的概率。组为76.6% vs 59.9%。结果表明，该县的项目显著影响了印第安人、西班牙裔和非西班牙裔白人的再逮捕率。
Objectives. This study was undertaken to assess a. 28-day detention and treatment program's effect, in a multiethnic county with high rates of alcohol-related arrests and crashes, on first-time offenders sentenced for driving while impaired (DWI).Methods. We used comparison of baseline characteristics, survival curves of subsequent arrest, and Cox proportional hazards regression to examine probability of rearrest of those sentenced and those not sentenced to the program.Results. Probability of not being rearrested was significantly higher for the treatment group after adjustment for covariates. At 5 years, probability of not being rearrested for the treatment vs the nontreatment. group was 76.6% v 59.9%.Conclusions. Results suggest that this county's program has significantly affected rearrest rates for Native Americans, Hispanics, and non-Hispanic Whites.
