Pain interference in individuals in driver intervention programs for driving under the influence offenders.
Pain-related problems among individuals in court-mandated Driver Intervention Programs (DIPs) for "driving under the influence" (DUI) offenders have not been well studied. This project examines 3,189 individuals from a DIP in Dayton, Ohio. Over 11% of participants reported significant pain-related interference in the past 4 weeks. Pain was significantly more likely in those with depression, more childhood conduct problems, and recent use of multiple illicit drugs. Many individuals seen in court-mandated DIP programs for DUI offenders also report difficulties with pain. DIP programming should address pain in relation to substance use and mental health issues.
