Summary

This trial will test if a special type of training can help people who have been caught driving under the influence of alcohol to better understand the risks associated with drinking.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals who drive on a weekly basis and have had a valid driver's license for at least five years. It specifically targets DUI offenders to help them understand the risks of alcohol use. Pregnant or breastfeeding individuals, those with substance use disorders (excluding nicotine or caffeine), or with physical or psychiatric diseases cannot participate.
What is being tested?
The study is testing two types of training: performance feedback training and blood alcohol concentration discrimination training. The goal is to see if these methods can improve DUI offenders' awareness of the risks associated with drinking and driving.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this trial involves educational interventions rather than medical treatments, traditional side effects are not applicable. However, participants may experience stress or discomfort when confronting their behaviors related to alcohol consumption.

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Intoxicated risk awareness training sessionExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Participants will complete an intoxicated risk awareness training session in which they receive a controlled alcohol dose with structured feedback and training to accurately appraise the impairing effects of alcohol and estimate their blood alcohol concentration (BAC).
Group II: Alcohol exposure onlyActive Control1 Intervention
Participants assigned to the alcohol-exposure-only condition undergo the same alcohol dose exposures over the session but receive a general body scan and do not receive feedback concerning BAC or performance.
