Summary of Findings • Compared to non 24/7 participants, arrest to arrest (next DUI offense) recidivism is substantially lower for 24/7 participants at 1, 2 and 3 years. • Even lower rates are documented for individuals that have 30 and 90 days of consecutive twice a day testing on the program. • Note: The small sample size available for analysis at 2 and 3 years should be considered for PBTx2 30 and 90 consecutive days and the rates may change as more data is available for inclusion in the analysis.
