Driver Risk Inventory-II. The DRI-II is a DUI/DWI offender assessment instrument or test. It was developed specifically for DUI/DWI offender assessment. The DRI-II test booklet contains 140 items and takes 25 minutes to complete. If a person can read the newspaper they can read the DRI-II. The DRI-II contains six scales (measures): 1. Truthfulness Scale, 2. Alcohol Scale, 3. Drugs Scale, 4. Substance Abuse/Dependency Scale, 5. Driver Risk Scale and 6. Stress Coping Abilities Scale. As reported in Government Technology (Vol. 3, #5, May 1990) “NHTSA concluded the Driver Risk Inventory (DRI) was the best . . . It (DRI) appears to be by far the most carefully constructed test. As you know the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is the highest federal authority in the DUI field. And now, after years of research the DRI has been improved. This improved test is called the DRI-II. Click on this DRI-II Research Study link to review a DRI-II reliability and validity research study. You can then click on the "Back" link to return to this webpage. Many DRI-II studies have been completed by several different Ph.D.'s and scientists. The linked study is representative of that research. The DRI-II has impressive reliability, validity and accuracy. Some of this research is reported in the "DRI-II: An Inventory of Scientific Findings" and other studies are reported in the www.bdsltd.com website. Several research studies can be available upon request. If interested contact Behavior Data Systems, Ltd., P.O. Box 44256, Phoenix, Arizona, 85064-4256. Telephone Number: (602) 234-3506, Fax Number: (602) 266-8227 and e-mail address bds@bdsltd.com. The DRI-II expanding database has over one million DUI/DWI offenders in it. And the DRI-II’s six scales measure client truthfulness when tested, alcohol abuse severity, drug abuse severity, driver risk (independent of substance abuse), and stress coping abilities while concurrently classifying offenders as "substance abusers" or "substance dependent" in accordance with DSM-IV criteria.

To help avoid comparing apples to oranges, the DRI-II Test Comparison Checklist sets forth important DUI/DWI offender test features. This provides a checklist for test comparison. To review this checklist click on the DRI-II Test Comparison Checklist link. There are several levels of DRI-II Scale interpretation ranging from viewing the DRI-II as a self-report to interpreting scale elevations and scale inter-relationships. Click on the "Scale Interpretation" link for an introduction to DRI-II Scale Interpretation. Confidentiality: Behavior Data Systems encourages test users to delete DUI/DWI offender names from diskettes before they are returned to Behavior Data Systems. Once client names are deleted, they are gone and cannot be retrieved. Deleting client names does not delete demographics or test data, which is downloaded into the DRI-II database for subsequent analysis. This proprietary name deletion procedure involves a few keystrokes and insures client confidentiality and compliance with HIPAA (federal regulation 45 C.F.R. 164.501).

The third page of the DRI-II report completes the Drugs Scale paragraph and presents the Stress Coping Abilities Scale paragraph. Significant items (direct admissions or unusual answers) are presented for the Alcohol Scale, Drugs Scale, and Driver Risk Scale. The final sequence of items (#119-140) represent multiple choice answers. Each of these items is multiple choice, and the answer selected by the DUI/DWI offender is printed on this page. These answers are the offender's self-report with all of their biases. It's interesting to compare offender answers with their empirically based scores. Space is provided for staff member's comments/recommendations and signature. The report ends with a reproduction of the DUI/DWI offender's answers to all the DRI-II items. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

DRI-II Short Form. The Short Form is particularly appropriate for use with DUI/DWI offenders that are reading impaired, in high volume assessment settings and as an alternative retest. The DRI-II Short Form has 73 items and requires 20 minutes to complete. Reports are scored and printed on-site within 2½ minutes. In comparison to the DRI-II, the DRI-II Short Form does not have the Stress Coping Abilities Scale because of its length. FIVE DRI-II SHORT FORM SCALES

scales correlate highly significantly with corresponding DRI-II scales.
Several levels of scale interpretation are possible. They range from
viewing the DRI-II Short Form as a self-report to interpreting scale
elevation and inter-relationships. Staff can then place DUI/DWI offenders
DRI-II Short Form findings within the context of the offender’s life

The second page of the DRI-II Short Form report contains scale paragraphs. These scales include the Truthfulness Scale, Substance Abuse/Dependency Scale Classification, the Alcohol Scale, Driver Risk Scale and the Drugs Scale. Each paragraph gives the respondent's percentile score, explains what that score means and provides score-related recommendations. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

* * SUMMARY PARAGRAPHS EXPLAINING CLIENT'S ATTAINED SCALE SCORES * * ------------------------------------------------------------
TRUTHFULNESS SCALE: LOW RISK RANGE RISK PERCENTILE:24 This is an accurate DRI-II profile and other scale scores are accur- ate. This person responded to the DRI-II test items in a nondefensive, cooperative and truthful manner. Denial and distortion are minimal. This person has adequate reading skills and was truthful. The Truthfulness Scale identifies self-protective, recalcitrant and guarded people who minimize or even conceal self-report information.
DEPENDENCY/ABUSE CLASSIFICATION: Three or more of the seven DSM-IV dependency items (or their equivalents) are not admitted to, consequently the classification of 'dependency' as defined here does not apply. Moreover, this person reports (item #64) that he or she has not been diagnosed 'substance dependent' in the past. One or more of the substance abuse items (or their equivalents) are admitted to, which meets the criteria of 'substance abuse' as defined here. These admissions include: #13. This client describes their drinking as a moderate problem and their drug use as a minimum problem. This person's Alcohol Scale score is elevated (at or above the 70th percentile) whereas their Drugs Scale score is not (at or below the 69th percentile) elevated. This profile is not uncommon in the early stages of substance use, or after relapse. In summary, this client meets the DSM-IV substance abuse classification. And within this abuse category their degree of risk is represented by their Alcohol Scale score.
ALCOHOL SCALE: PROBLEM RISK RANGE RISK PERCENTILE:83 This person's response pattern on the Alcohol Scale is in the Problem Risk (70 to 89th percentile) range. A drinking or alcohol-related problem is indicated. An interview will establish if this person is a "recovering" alcoholic. Recovering usually means the person has a problem but is abstaining. If recovering, establish the recovery history. Relapse risk is high. Consider counseling (individual or group) and/or attendance at Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) meetings. An alcohol-related problem is indicated. Although this person does not meet the DSM-IV dependency criteria, their scale score indicates that the person does represent a substance use risk. The severity of this client's Alcohol Scale score is an area of inquiry that should be explored in interview. The severity of this person's score reflects problematic substance use.
DRIVER RISK SCALE: PROBLEM RISK RANGE RISK PERCENTILE:81 This person presents as a driver risk and may be an irresponsibly aggressive driver. This person is likely impatient, quick tempered and easily angered while driving. Even under "normal" conditions this person could be a driver risk. Thus, independent of substance (alcohol or other drugs) use or abuse, this person scored in the Problem Risk (70 to 89th percentile) range. A driver safety course may be helpful.
DRUGS SCALE: LOW RISK RANGE RISK PERCENTILE:19 This person's response pattern on the Drugs Scale is in the Low Risk (zero to 39th percentile) range. Few, if any, significant indicators of at-risk drug use are evident. If present, drug involvement may be

The third page of the DRI-II Short Form report completes the Drugs Scale paragraph. This page also contains significant items (direct admissions or highly unusual answers) for the Alcohol Scale, Drugs Scale and Driver Risk Scale. The last sequence of DRI-II Short Form test items (#68-73) are 4-choice multiple choice questions. Whatever answer is selected by the DUI/DWI offender is printed. This allows comparison of these subjective answers (with all their biases) with the empirically based scale scores. Space is provided for staff comments/recommendations as well as their signature and date. Page 3 concludes with a reproduction of all DRI-II Short Form answers. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

historical, experimental or minimal. Review other DRI-II scale scores along with the Significant Items in a Structured Interview. This arrest is of concern. An interview will help clarify if substance use is episodic or represents non-habitual abuse.
SIGNIFICANT ITEMS: The following self-report responses represent areas that may help in understanding the respondent's situation and status.
ALCOHOL DRUGS ------- ----- 10. Attended Alcoholics Anon.(AA) No significant items were reported 26. Treated for a drinking problem for this scale. Review items 68 42. Drinking a problem past year through 73 below even though they reflect the client's subjective opinion.
DRIVER RISK ----------- 7. Admits often drives fast
SECTION 2: Answers to multiple choice items are printed below: -------------------------------------------------------------- 68. Drinking is a moderate problem 69. Not sure about alcohol treatmt 70. One alcohol treatment program 71. Not a "recovering" person 72. No need for drug treatment 73. Drug use is not a problem
