最近的研究表明,创伤后应激障碍(PTSD)是在接受治疗的酒后驾车(DUI)罪犯中最常见的精神共病之一。了解酒后驾车罪犯的创伤后应激障碍及其临床特征,对预防和治疗酒后驾车有重要意义。这项前瞻性研究调查了基线有创伤后应激障碍症状的酒后驾车重复犯罪者的人口学和临床特征,并对720名接受为期2周的住院计划的酒后驾车罪犯进行了1年随访。研究表明,患有创伤后应激障碍的参与者有更严重的精神合并症,并且在1年时酒后驾车再犯率比没有创伤后应激障碍的人更高。这项研究表明,有必要解决酒后驾车罪犯中的创伤后应激障碍,并进一步发展准确报告酒后驾车再犯的方法学。
Recent studies indicate that posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is one of the most common psychiatric comorbidities among driving-under-the-influence (DUI) offenders in treatment. Investigation of DUI offenders' PTSD and clinical characteristics could have important implications for prevention and treatment. This prospective study examined the demographic and clinical characteristics of repeat DUI offenders with PTSD symptoms at baseline and 1-year follow-up Seven hundred twenty-rune DUI offenders admitted to a 2-week inpatient program participated in the study Participants with PTSD evidenced more severe psychiatric comorbidity and reported a higher DUI recidivism rate at 1-year than those without PTSD This study suggests a need to address PTSD among DUI offenders, as well as to further develop methodologies fir accurately reporting DUI recidivism
