likelihood of driving under the influence of alcohol (DUI).
Despite extensive legislative, law enforcement, and public awareness efforts, driving under
the influence of alcohol (DUI) remains a major cause of mortality and loss of years of
productive life. A brief motivational interview (BI) is a non-confrontational,
patient-centered discussion during which the individual's motivation and confidence to change
health-related behaviors are explored. Previous studies of BIs in health care settings
suggest that BIs administered after hospitalization for alcohol-related injury reduce the
likelihood of repeat injury hospitalization and arrest for DUI.
