Resumen

The purpose of the current study was to examine whether the differences found between first-time and repeat rural DUI offenders were the same as those found previously in urban samples. A total of 118 rural DUI offenders were interviewed, approximately half (51.7%) of whom were repeat offenders. Although demographic and mental health characteristics were similar across the two groups, repeat offenders reported more extensive substance use and criminal histories. Results suggest that the pattern of differences between rural first-time and repeat DUI offenders may be different from the pattern found in prior urban-based studies. Treatment implications are discussed.
