This study examines the impact of the Mississippi Alcohol Safety Education Program (MASEP), a court-mandated intervention program, on 3-year recidivism rates among first-time DUI offenders (i.e. those convicted of a first offense for driving under the influence of alcohol or another drug). It also examines whether a new version of the curriculum that incorporates activities to enhance motivation for change further ameliorates recidivism. Cox proportional hazard regression models are used to compare recidivism rates among DUI offenders who completed MASEP with those who did not complete or who failed to enroll in the program. Recidivism rates were also compared for MASEP participants across time periods during which curriculum revisions were introduced. The hazard of recidivism was lower for individuals who completed the program than for individuals who did not complete or did not enroll in the program. Recidivism rates were further reduced following the introduction of curriculum revisions. Attendance of court-mandated remedial intervention programs lower subsequent DUI arrests and program content is associated with lower rates.
本研究考察了密西西比州酒精安全教育计划（MASEP）对首次酒后驾车犯罪者（即因酒后或其他药物影响驾驶而被判犯有初犯罪的人）3 年累犯率的影响。它还研究了是否将新的课程版本纳入增强改变动机的活动可以进一步改善累犯情况。使用 Cox 比例风险回归模型来比较完成 MASEP 的酒后驾车犯罪者与未完成或未参加该计划的犯罪者之间的累犯率。还比较了在引入课程修订期间的不同时间段内 MASEP 参与者的累犯率。完成该计划的个人的累犯风险低于未完成或未参加该计划的个人。在引入课程修订后，累犯率进一步降低。参加强制性矫正干预计划可降低随后的酒后驾车逮捕率，并且计划内容与较低的累犯率相关。
