Award Description: Enormous unmet needs for alcohol prevention and treatment exist among individuals arrested for driving under the influence (DUI), as nearly one third recidivate and have a subsequent arrest. The DUI arrest represents a critical opportunity for early intervention and prevention. This project develops a brief intervention for English and Spanish-speaking DUI offenders and evaluates the differential effectiveness of two methods of delivering a brief intervention, in person and by the web. This study aims to promote the public welfare by preventing first-time DUI offenders from becoming repeat offenders, thereby reducing the enormous financial and societal costs asscoiated with having drunk drivers on the roads.
