dc.description.abstract | There is a lack of outcome evidence for alcohol interventions for offenders whose crime is alcohol related. In this study, the
authors report the intermediate outcomes of a feasibility study for a randomized controlled trial of an alcohol-related violence
intervention. Control of Violence for Angry Impulsive Drinkers (COVAID) was tested with sentenced prisoners in the United
Kingdom. Participants were 115 adult men who were randomly allocated to COVAID or treatment as usual. Measures were
the Alcohol-Related Aggression Questionnaire (ARAQ), the State-Trait Anger Expression Inventory (STAXI-2), the Eysenck
Impulsivity, Venturesome, and Empathy Scale (IVE), and the Controlled Drinking Self-Efficacy Scale (CDSES). After the
intervention, participants allocated to COVAID reported significantly greater improvement on the ARAQ Alcohol-Aggression
subscale and all CDSES subscales. No significant differences were obtained for the STAXI-2 or the IVE. COVAID may have
the potential to fill a gap in treatment provision for offenders whose crimes of violence are alcohol related. | en_US |
