TY - JOUR PY - 1994// TI - Rehabilitation for convicted drinking drivers (second offenders): effects on mortality JO - Journal of studies on alcohol A1 - Mann, Robert E. A1 - Anglin, L.

SP - 372 EP - 374 VL - 55 IS - 3 N2 - The mortality experience of convicted drinking drivers (second offenders) (N = 347) randomly assigned to rehabilitation and control groups in two Ontario cities was examined. Over a follow-up period ranging between 8 and 13 years, 14 (11.0%) of the controls and 17 (7.7%) of the rehabilitation group died. Direct comparisons of the randomly assigned control and treatment groups revealed a tendency for lower total mortality and significantly lower mortality from accidental and violent death in those assigned to rehabilitation. Additional comparisons involving a combined rehabilitation group (N = 487) (rehabilitation participants randomly and not randomly assigned) confirmed these observations.
