Abstract:

Twelve Alcohol Safety Action Projects cooperated in field evaluation of HSRI-developed questionnaire and interview protocols for identifying problem drinkers. Responses from 709 Driving While Intoxicated defendants from three ASAPs with differing demographic profiles and score distributions, were analyzed. To validate the test a composite criterion, constructed from blood alcohol concentration at time of arrest and number of previous DWI and other alcohol offenses, was used to evaluate the test predictions. Validity and reliability data indicate the protocols provide useful performance, particularly when combined with other generally available criteria. Additionally, ASAP users were surveyed to determine their judgments about the operational effectiveness of the identification procedures. Results from 57 respondents in 12 ASAPs indicate that the tests are well received and of particular use in training court workers. An improved scoring key and a Spanish translation of the questionnaire were prepared, and questionnaire scoring templates were constructed. Reduced cut-off scores and re-wording of troublesome questionnaire items were recommended for improving diagnostic effectiveness. /Abstract from report summary page/
