Abstract

Three different programs for individuals convicted of drunken driving are being evaluated in a randomized design in collaboration between researchers at the Karolinska Institute and the Prison and Probation Service in Sweden. In the years 1996-1998, 912 clients were interviewed by means of a structured interview, the Addiction Severity Index (ASI), which covers seven problem areas (medical status, alcohol use, employment status, drug use, legal status, family/social and psychiatric status). So far about half of the subjects have been re-investigated two years after leave. Initially, the group being investigated had problems particularly in the areas of criminality and alcohol use. Two years later a positive trend in most of the problem areas could be observed for clients in follow-up.
