  1. Tiffini Diage University of Wisconsin, Madison Ignition Interlock Device Mandatory Sentencing

  2. Objective • Ignition Interlock Device (IID) sentencing, impact on Wisconsin motor vehicle crashes? • IID locks out vehicle ignition • Breath sample >0.02% BAC • Rolling re-test required

  3. WI Alcohol Related MVC’s, 2007 • 17,847 people involved • Injuries - 4,190 • Hospitalizations - 991 • ED visits - 3199 • Deaths - 331 • 50% were sober victims *CODES Data provided by Wayne Bigelow; Center for Health Systems Research and Analysis, University of Wisconsin – Madison

  4. Proposed Wisconsin OWI Law • Mandatory IID Sentencing Requirements • All repeat offenders (2nd offense or more) • All 1st time offenders with BAC > 0.15 • Offender pays $1,200 / device / year

  5. Methods • Literature review – current evidence • Experience from other states • Impact analysis using Wisconsin data

  6. Databases Reviewed, 2007 FARS = Fatal Accident Reporting System WI DOT = Wisconsin Department of Transportation

  7. Results • Literature evidence • IID’s lower recidivism while device is installed (Risk Ratio 0.05 – 0.33) • Long-term effectiveness, uncertain • Experience from other states • New Mexico • 85% reduction in recidivism • 25% reduction in alcohol related crashes • California • Increase in non-alcohol related crashes with IID users compared on non-IID users

  8. Wisconsin Data, 2007 • FARS – 142 fatal crashes • 30 with prior DUI’s (21%) • 27 were 1st offense, 3 were 2nd offense • CODES – 4,190 injuries • No information on priors or BAC • WI DOT - 40,260 DUI convictions • 23,689 1st offenders (58%) • 16,571 2nd – 13th repeat offense (42%)

  9. Findings • Impact of IID law on WI public health? • Interaction with few fatal cases from 2007 • Large potential impact on repeat offenders • Low “in use” recidivism • Decrease drunk driving exposure • Reduction in risk of alcohol related crashes • Forward evaluation: IID data fields in CODES and FARS

  10. Discussion/Considerations • Political motivation vs. evidence based intervention • Ideology of policy based intervention? • Punitive measure vs. prevention/treatment • Could IID compliment treatment approach? • Proper evaluation is required for public health assessment • Effectiveness, unintended consequences • Data communication – i.e. sentencing, manufacturer, law enforcement
