TY - JOUR PY - 2000// TI - Differential validity in risk screening of impaired driving offenders JO - Proceedings International Council on Alcohol, Drugs and Traffic Safety Conference A1 - Anderson, B. J. A1 - Snow, R.w. A1 - Wells-Parker, Elisabeth SP - EP - p. VL - 2000 IS - N2 - Differential predictive validity of the Mortimer-Filkins Questionnaire was examined with respect to ethnicity in a sample of 4,633 convicted drink driving offenders in Mississippi. Linear-logistic regression analysis indicated the instrument is a stronger predictor of drink driving recidivism among Caucasians than African-Americans. Practical implications of a finding of differential validity for risk screening are discussed, and the need to evaluate other instruments with respect to differential validity is addressed.
