The purpose of this descriptive study was to examine gender differences in the characteristics of clients in a large Driving Under the Influence (DUI) program in Southern California. We analyzed secondary de-identified data from a large DUI program for the years 2009-2014 (n = 19,619). Sociodemographic characteristics, measures of physical and mental comorbidity, and alcohol use severity measures were compared for male and female clients. Women averaged 32.85 years of age (SD = 10.70), while men were slightly older at 34.2 years (SD = 11.19). Females comprised an increasingly greater percentage of the client population over the time period studied (27.6%-30.7%). In a multivariable model, compared to male clients, females were more likely to be White non-Hispanic, not currently married, and younger. Women were more likely than men to report anxiety, depression, and a history of domestic violence. Blood alcohol content at arrest and measures of hazardous drinking did not differ significantly by gender. Results suggested that gender-specific DUI programs might be useful.
这项描述性研究的目的是调查南加州一个大型酒后驾车（DUI）项目中客户特征的性别差异。我们分析了2009年至2014年一个大型酒后驾车项目的二次匿名数据（n = 19,619）。对男性和女性客户的社会人口统计学特征、身心合并症指标以及酒精使用严重程度指标进行了比较。女性的平均年龄为32.85岁（标准差 = 10.70），而男性稍大，为34.2岁（标准差 = 11.19）。在所研究的时间段内，女性在客户群体中所占的比例越来越大（27.6% - 30.7%）。在一个多变量模型中，与男性客户相比，女性更有可能是白人非西班牙裔、目前未婚且年龄较小。女性比男性更有可能报告焦虑、抑郁和家庭暴力史。被捕时的血液酒精含量和危险饮酒指标在性别上没有显著差异。结果表明，针对性别的酒后驾车项目可能会有用。
