Methods: Psychosocial characteristics were assessed by the Addiction Severity Index (ASI). Alcohol problems were additionally assessed by the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT). Criminal records were collected for the five year period before the enrolment, and for the subsequent two years, from Sweden\u2019s official crime statistics. Results: About half of the investigated drivers had other psychosocial problems besides the drink driving offence. Female drivers had more alcohol, drug, psychiatric and relational problems, including with parents when growing up, than male drivers, but less previous and subsequent criminality. Heavily drunk drivers (blood alcohol concentration \u22650.1%) had more problems with alcohol, legal status and employment and support than the other drunk drivers. Problems with legal status, family and social relations and alcohol use increased the risk of relapse in drunk driving, while medical problems seemed to be a protective factor. Different ASI risk factors were identified for relapse in either traffic offences or other crimes. Conclusions: As well as the drunk driving offence, drunk drivers often have other psychosocial problems, female drivers in particular. Already the blood alcohol concentration per se gives some indication of the psychosocial problem profile of a drunk driver and the ASI profile has some prognostic value for relapse in drunk driving. <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1403494809353506","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,11,5]],"date-time":"2009-11-05T03:14:31Z","timestamp":1257390871000},"page":"71-77","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Psychosocial characteristics of drunk drivers assessed by the Addiction Severity Index, prediction of relapse"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"38","author":[{"given":"Beata","family":"Hubicka","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Neuroscience, Karolinska Institute, Sweden,"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hans","family":"Laurell","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The Swedish Road Administration Borl\u00e4nge, Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hans","family":"Bergman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Neuroscience, Karolinska Institute, Sweden"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2009,11,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"atypb1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Vingilis E.
