Abstract

Background and Objectives: Studies have documented sex differences among driving under the influence (DUI) offenders, but none have examined rural DUI offenders. Methods: Rural DUI offenders (83 males and 34 females) self-reported past year and lifetime substance use, mental health problems, and impaired driving history. Results: Substance use and impaired driving histories were similar, but significant disparities in mental health problems for female DUI offenders were found. Conclusions and Scientific Significance: This initial examination of sex differences among rural DUI offenders suggests additional research is needed to better understand their substance use and mental health problems and whether different treatment approaches are needed. (Am J Addict 2019;28:405–408).
