Description: This study examined both rates and predictors of completion in a mandatory rehabilitation program for individuals convicted of a Driving Under the Influence (DUI) offence. Completion rate, in the sample of male DUI offenders (n = 5409), was determined to be extremely high at 97.3%. In multivariate analysis, non-completers, relative to completers, were found to be younger, to drink more frequently, to be less likely to own a home, to be more likely to live in urban centers, to have two or more lifetime impaired driving convictions and to have an income below $35,000. It was concluded that individuals who do not complete the requirements bear many similarities to individuals at high-risk for persistent drink-drive behavior and its associated negative health consequences. A model for understanding the determinants of non-completion and both the health and treatment implications of such behavior is presented and discussed.
