目的。为了确定是否DUI罪犯可以更好地避免未来的酒后驾车，通过控制他们的车辆使用，而不是通过控制他们的drinking.Methods.Using a randomized experimental post-test only design，9，571首次DUI罪犯被随机分配接受两个12小时的教育计划之一：传统的DUI课程或PARC（预防酒精相关定罪）课程，使用新的理论方法来预防DUI累犯。而传统的程序侧重于参与者控制他们的饮酒，以避免未来酒后驾车，PARC课程侧重于参与者控制他们的驾驶。PARC没有试图在开车去饮酒场所后控制酒精摄入量（以前发现这是一种有缺陷的策略），而是教导学生在离家前做出决定，不要开车去参加饮酒活动，从而大大限制了酒后驾车的可能性。驾驶记录是从佛罗里达机动车辆部获得的，使用驾驶执照号码来评估参加PARC课程和传统课程的学生在第一年的DUI再犯率，并在干预后2年再次进行。年累犯率比那些接受传统课程。的效果是一致的，在两个不同的措施累犯，跨性别，种族，民族，和location.Conclusion。结果表明，thepARC教育的方法可能是更有效的比传统的方法，减少酒后驾车累犯。
Objective.To determine whether DUI offenders can better avoid future drinking and driving by controlling their vehicle usage rather than by controlling their drinking.Methods.Using a randomized experimental post-test only design, 9,571 first-time DUI offenders were randomly assigned to receive one of two 12-hour educational programs: a traditional DUI curriculum or thePARC (Preventing Alcohol-Related Convictions)curriculum, which uses a novel theoretical approach to preventing DUI recidivism. Whereas traditional programs focus on participantscontrolling their drinkingto avoid future drinking and driving, thePARCcurriculum focuses on participantscontrolling their driving. Instead of trying to control alcohol consumption after driving to a drinking venue (previously found to be a flawed strategy),PARCteaches students to make a decision before leaving home not to drive to a drinking event, thus greatly limiting the possibility of drinking and driving. Driving records were obtained from the Florida Department of Motor Vehicles using driver's license numbers to assess DUI recidivism rates among the students in thePARCand Traditional curricula for the first year following program participation and again at 2 years post-intervention.Results.Binary logistic regression analyses revealed that offenders receiving thePARCcurriculum exhibited significantly lower 1-year and 2-year recidivism rates than those receiving the Traditional curriculum. The effect was consistent across two different measures of recidivism, and across gender, race, ethnicity, and location.Conclusion.Results suggest that thePARCeducational approach may be more effective than the traditional approach in reducing DUI recidivism.
