| Popis: | This project was designed to evaluate current and alternative strategies for selecting and treating accident-involved drivers in California. The current accident-based selection criteria were contrasted with an expanded selection strategy that included convictions as well as accidents as criteria for selection. The standard diagnostic reexamination treatment was compared to two alternative behavior modification treatments—an accident avoidance session and a mailed educational pamphlet/self-administered test. Interaction between treatments and selection criteria revealed that accident-involved drivers with minimum conviction histories were amenable to treatment intervention, while accident-involved drivers with more extensive conviction histories were not. Treatment effects were statistically significant (p < .02), with each of the treatment groups having posttreatment accident means in excess of 20% lower than comparable control groups. |
