摘要

Purpose An assumption underlying most remedial programs for convicted drinking drivers isthat individuals with more severe alcohol problems benefit from being assigned to longer ormore intense remedial interventions, but this has never been tested directly. Using regressiondiscontinuityanalyses (RD), we examined if assignment to a longer program at the point ofdiscontinuity (the cutoff point for assignment based on scores on the Research Institute onAddictions Self-Inventory (RIASI -Total and -Recidivism) is associated with a significantreduction in number of days using alcohol and certain drugs.Methods: Convicted drinking drivers in Ontario seeking relicensing are required to complete theBack on Track (BOT) remedial program. They are assigned to complete either an 8-houreducation or a 16-hour treatment program based on alcohol problem severity as determined byan assessment interview including the RIASI. Between 2000 and 2005, 22,277 convicteddrinking drivers registered for BOT and completed the follow-up interview six months aftercompletion of the education or treatment programs. Clients were assigned to the longertreatment program based on problem severity as measured by a RIASI-T score of 9+ and aRIASI-R score of 6+.Results: The main outcome measures were number of days of alcohol and drug use (e.g.,cannabis, prescription opioids, tobacco) during the 90 days preceding the six-month follow-upinterview. A significant reduction in the number of drinking days from the point of assignment tothe treatment program was found. Specifically, there was a reduction of one drinking day(regression coeff. = -1.1) for the RIASI-T assignment strategy and two drinking days (regressioncoeff. = -1.96) for the RIASI-R assignment strategy. A significant reduction of less than one dayof cannabis use (regression coeff. = -0.16) from the point of assignment to the 16-hour programbased on the RIASI-T was also found.Conclusions: These results provide support for longer or more intensive treatmentinterventions for convicted drinking drivers when severity-based criteria are met. They alsoillustrate the value of RD analysis when randomized designs are not possible.
