Das Ziel des DRUGS-Kurses ist eine dauerhafte Distanzierung vom Drogenkonsum durch Drogenabstinenz. Der Kursteilnehmer verpflichtet sich, für die Dauer des Kurses jeglichen Drogenkonsum zu unterlassen. Während des Kurses erfolgt eine Abstinenzkontrolle durch ein forensisch verwertbares Drogenscreening. Auf die Basisstufe entfallen die ersten vier Sitzungen. Darauf folgt eine vierwöchige Selbstbeobachtungsphase, in der auch das Drogenscreening durchgeführt wird. Die in der Selbstbeobachtungsphase gemachten Erfahrungen werden in der anschließenden Aufbauphase besprochen und optimiert. Der individualpsychologische Ansatz berücksichtigt insbesondere die Psychodynamik in der Gruppe. Die Teilnehmer, welche Drogenkonsum oft mit Gruppennormen und -zwängen verbinden, können hier auch die Erfahrung machen, dass sie als Einzelne in der Lage sind, Gruppennormen mitzugestalten und sich davon, wo nötig, zu distanzieren und eine eigene Position in der Gruppe einzunehmen. Die Gruppe bietet auch das Übungsfeld für Verhaltensweisen, welche in der sozialen Gruppe außerhalb des Kurses notwendig sind.
The use of alcohol interlocks for DUI offenders is widespread around the world. in North America and Australia alcohol interlocks are core elements in the countermeasure system against DUI recidivism. Based on a European experience exchange hosted by the Federal Highway Research Institute (BASt) in October 2013, key features of European alcohol interlock programmes are illustrated. In addition, key findings from international alcohol interlock research are presented. They point towards a need for an accompanying rehabilitative measure in order to achieve long-lasting behavioural changes in the offender. Data from the interlock recorder can be used as predictor for recidivism risk, but also as objective data to aid counselling. Finally, an example of an accompanying rehabilitative measure, which was specifically developed for interlock programmes within a BASt project, is given.
Das Fehlen der Fahreignung stellt im Sinne der ICF eine Barriere bei der Teilhabe am Arbeitsleben dar. Die dargestellten Ergebnisse zeigen auf, dass weiterer Forschungsbedarf zum Thema Fahreignung und Therapie besteht, um den Patienten die Aussicht auf eine berufliche Reintegration zu bewahren. Durch ein effektives Training der Fähigkeiten zum Führen eines Kraftwagens könnten bei einem relevanten Anteil der Patienten die Voraussetzungen zur Teilhabe am Arbeitsleben stark verbessert werden. Durch die Präsentation dieser Ergebnisse kann eine Verbesserung des Problembewusstseins erwartet werden, da immer noch nicht alle Patienten über mögliche Einschränkungen der Fahreignung aufgeklärt werden. Daneben muss dem Fachpublikum die Notwendigkeit aufgezeigt werden, über neue Rehabilitationsstrategien zur Wiedererlangung beziehungsweise Verbesserung der Fahreignung nachzudenken.
Various kinds of demerit point systems have been developed and implemented in European countries, aimed at tackling repeat offences in road transport by acting as a deterrent and providing sanctioning. The impact of a demerit point system on the number of crashes is often reported to be significant, but temporary. The objective of the EU BestPoint project was to establish a set of recommended practices that would result in a more effective and sustainable contribution of demerit point systems to road safety. A high actual chance of losing the licence and a high perceived chance of losing the licence are basic prerequisites for the effective operation of demerit point systems. For measures applied within the context of a demerit point system, a four-step-approach is recommended: warning letter, driver improvement course, licence withdrawal, rehabilitation course. Further recommendations concern issues like points and offences, e.g. which offences should lead to points, target groups, and the administration of demerit point systems. The final result of the EU BestPoint project is a handbook (van Schagen & Machata, 2012) which provides a concise overview of all recommended practices. The presentation/paper outlines how sustainable safety improvements can be achieved if national demerit point systems are implemented and maintained according to the recommended practices. In addition, potential further steps towards an EU-wide demerit point system (cross-border exchange on points and/or offences) are presented.
Abstract: The number of accidents that can be attributed to driving under the influence of psychoactive substances (alcohol, drugs, and certain medicines) is constantly on a high level with drugs and medicines proportionally increasing over the years. The overall objective of the EU 6th Framework Programme project DRUID is to gain better knowledge of the various aspects of driving under the influence of drugs, alcohol and medicines. DRUID wants to offer scientific support to EU transport policy makers by suggesting guidelines and measures to combat impaired driving. To reach this ambitious aim a wide range of studies is conducted. The various studies are divided into seven work packages with complex interdependencies. There are experimental studies assessing the effects of single and combined psychoactive substances on driving performance (WP1) as well as epidemiological studies aiming to assess the situation in Europe regarding prevalence of alcohol and other psychoactive substances in drivers (WP2).The principal objective of these studies is to gain relative risk estimates for traffic accident involvement of drivers impaired by psychoactive substances and to recommend substance concentration thresholds. A theoretical framework which allows the integration of the experimental and epidemiological findings serves as a fundament for developing these recommendations. WP3 aims at improving the possibilities of detecting drug driving in Europe. Police forces evaluate practically (under realistic enforcement conditions) oral fluid screening devices. A scientific evaluation of oral fluid screening devices and other methods (i.e. roadside checklists of signs of impairment) is done as well. The outcome of the practical and scientific evaluations serves as input to cost-benefit analyses of enforcement.
