Abstract

Abstract Little is known as to the efficacy of treatment interventions for an alcohol use disorder (AUD) to reduce reoffending. A quasi-experimental propensity score matched observational study was deployed to calculate the average treatment effect on reoffending for people in prison with an AUD exposed to prison-based treatment compared to a matched control group. A one-to-one match without replacement followed by a marginal Cox proportional hazards time-to-event model with the treatment group only were also run. No statistically significant difference in reoffending rates and risk of reoffending on release were noted. Analyses suggest that the treatment group were more likely to be treated for binge drinking than individuals assessed who commit crime due to their consumption of alcohol. The English treatment model is an opportunity to create an enhanced system that integrates public health whilst addressing recidivism. Further work is required assessing the effect of multiple treatments on reoffending.

估计监狱中酒精使用障碍患者再次犯罪的治疗效果：一项全国匹配倾向评分分析

对于酒精使用障碍(AUD)的治疗干预措施减少再犯的有效性知之甚少。一项准实验倾向评分匹配观察性研究被用于计算在监狱中接受监狱治疗的AUD患者与匹配对照组相比对再犯的平均治疗效果。还对治疗组进行了无替代的一对一匹配，然后对治疗组进行了边际Cox比例风险时间-事件模型。再犯率和释放后再犯的风险没有统计学上的显著差异。分析表明，治疗组比因饮酒而犯罪的个体更有可能因酗酒而接受治疗。英国的治疗模式是一个机会，可以创建一个加强系统，将公共卫生与解决累犯问题结合起来。需要进一步的工作来评估多种治疗对再犯的影响。
