Abstract

This study included adult offenders convicted of drunk driving, sentenced to the EMHD program, and who completed or failed to
complete their sentences from the beginning of 2006 through the end of 2008 (three-year time period); afterward, the participants
who successfully exited the program were followed till the end of 2009 to investigate their post-program recidivism. At a minimum,
the follow-up period for recidivism was one year. Specifically, the objective of this study was to expand on the literature by focusing
on the “exit status” of the convicted drunk drivers sentenced to the EMHD program during the three-year study period, and also on
“recidivism” among the subjects after their successful exit from the program.
