N2  - A typology of 156 convicted driving-while-intoxicated (DWI) offenders was developed using cluster analysis and external validation procedures. The typology was derived from 4 variables (alcohol dependence severity, psychiatric severity, bad-driving index, and social instability) selected to maximize the feasibility of performing treatment matching with DWI offenders. Five clusters that suggested specific treatment matching opportunities were identified. The largest, Cluster 4 (31% of cases), showed a low problem profile. However, a moderate-severity group (Cluster 1), a high-risk driver group (Cluster 2), and two high problem-severity groups (Clusters 3 and 5) were also found. Clusters 3 and 5 had high levels of alcohol dependence and psychiatric symptoms but differed significantly on social instability.
