• Abstract:
  This report briefly summarizes the findings of the North Dakota 24/7 sobriety program that monitors people arrested for or convicted of criminal offenses in which alcohol or other drugs were factors, including driving under the influence. Results found statistically significant reductions in arrests of repeat DUI offenders, especially after North Dakota enacted a law in 2013 that requires program participation for repeat offenders. The study adds to the evidence that the 24/7 sobriety program is an effective strategy for reducing repeat DUI offenses.
