Subject: [MMWR] Drivers With Repeat Convictions for Driving-While-
Impaired

             Drivers With Repeat Convictions or Arrests
             for Driving While Impaired -- United States

     In 1992 (the latest year for which data are available), more
than 1.6 million persons in the United States (approximately 1% of
licensed drivers) were arrested for driving while impaired (DWI)
(1). Persons arrested for DWI are at substantially greater risk for
future death in a motor-vehicle crash involving alcohol than those
who have not been arrested for DWI, and this risk increases
directly in relation to the number of DWI arrests (2). In addition,
drivers convicted of DWI are at greater risk of being involved in
a fatal crash, regardless of whether they are killed (3). This
report summarizes data about convictions and arrests for DWI from
state traffic safety officials analyzed by the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) during 1994.
     During May-June 1994, NHTSA contacted the governor's traffic
safety representative in each of the 50 states requesting all
available data about the proportion of DWI arrests or convictions
that involved a repeat DWI offender and the duration for which DWI
convictions or arrests are retained in a driver's record. Of the 14
states for which data were available and complete, seven reported
data by the number of drivers arrested or convicted for DWI, and
seven reported data by the total proportion of DWI arrests or
convictions. Only data reported by the number of drivers arrested
or convicted for DWI are presented in this analysis.
     Five of the seven states reported data about drivers convicted
for DWI; in these states, the estimated percentage of drivers with
previous DWI convictions ranged from 21% (Iowa during 1992) to 48%
(New Mexico during 1992) (Table 1). The other two states reported
information about drivers arrested for DWI; the estimated
percentages of drivers with previous DWI arrests were 26% (Colorado
during 1989-91) and 46% (Minnesota during 1993) (Table 1). The
percentage of drivers arrested or convicted for DWI with previous
convictions or arrests did not vary substantially during the
year(s) for which the data were reported. However, the percentages
were greater in most of the states that retained driving records
for longer periods of time.

Reported by: JC Fell, MS, Office of Alcohol and State Programs,
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Div of
Unintentional Injury Prevention, National Center for Injury
Prevention and Control, CDC.

Editorial Note: Motor-vehicle crashes are the leading cause of
death in the United States for persons in all age groups from ages
1 through 34 years (4). Approximately 44% of the 40,115 traffic
fatalities in 1993 were alcohol-related (5). In 1990, alcohol-
related crashes cost $46.1 billion, including $5.1 billion in
medical expenses (6).
     Although state laws have been effective in reducing drinking
and driving and deaths associated with alcohol-related crashes (6),
the findings in this report indicate that, in those states that
provided data, approximately one third of drivers who were arrested
or convicted for DWI had previous offenses for alcohol-impaired
driving. Although this finding is consistent with previous
unpublished reports of state data, it probably underestimates the
prevalence of such drivers because convictions or arrests for DWI
that occur out-of-state may not be included in a driver's record.
     Because of the limited number of states with available data,
the findings in this report may not be representative of all
drivers with previous convictions or arrests for DWI. The need for
such information underscores the importance for states and
localities to develop systems to track DWI offenders (e.g., systems
that combine criminal justice records with driver history data).
     The risk for repeat arrests for DWI is higher among males and
young persons (7); this risk is also higher among persons with
histories of numerous traffic violations, a high alcohol
concentration at arrest, and histories of alcohol problems (7). For
example, of 461 drivers convicted of DWI in New York City during
1983-84, approximately 73% had histories of serious alcohol
problems (8).
     In addition to the influence of the risk factors, the
percentage of drivers with previous convictions or arrests for DWI
may reflect the aggressiveness with which states enforce laws
against alcohol-impaired driving. Although the annual arrest rate
for DWI nationally in 1992 was nine per 1000 licensed drivers (1),
the rate varied by state and ranged from three to 22 per 1000
licensed drivers (1). In addition, most repeat arrests for DWI
occur within 5 years of the previous arrest date (R. Peck,
California Department of Motor Vehicles, unpublished data, 1994).
     Effective strategies implemented by states and localities to
prevent drinking and driving have included prompt license
suspension for persons who drive while intoxicated; enactment of
legislation lowering permissible blood alcohol content to 0.08 g/dL
for adults and to 0.02 g/dL for drivers aged less than 21 years;
and initiation of public education, community awareness, and media
campaigns about the dangers of alcohol-impaired driving (6).
Specific measures implemented to prevent repeat convictions and
arrests for DWI include mandatory substance-abuse assessment and
treatment, incarceration, and both; house arrest with electronic
monitoring; ignition interlocks on vehicles; license plate tags
that identify drivers with licenses suspended for DWI; vehicle
impoundment or confiscation; fines; and increases in automobile
insurance rates (9). The effectiveness of these specific measures
must be evaluated further; however, the findings in this report
suggest that, to prevent injuries and deaths in alcohol-related
crashes, additional and stronger state legislation (e.g., mandatory
substance-abuse assessment and treatment) should be directed toward
persons arrested for or convicted of DWI.

Message-ID: <2T9Tuc4w165w@stat.com>

             Update: Human Plague -- India, 1994

     From August 26 through October 18, 1994, a total of 693
suspected bubonic or pneumonic plague cases with positive test
results for antibodies to Yersinia pestis were reported by India to
the World Health Organization (WHO). Cases were reported from five
states (Maharashtra [488 cases], Gujarat [77 cases], Karnataka [46
cases], Uttar Pradesh [10 cases], and Madhya Pradesh [4 cases]) and
from the federal district of New Delhi (68 cases). Nationwide, 56
fatal plague cases have been reported; no deaths have been reported
since October 11.
     As of October 19, WHO considered the outbreak to be under
control because few new suspected cases had been reported. In
addition, WHO continues to recommend no restrictions for travelers
visiting India. However, travelers to the city of Surat, Gujarat,
or the Beed district, Maharashtra--areas where plague transmission
may be ongoing--are advised to seek medical attention for any
illness that begins within 6 days of departure.
     As of October 19, no imported plague cases had been detected
in persons in other countries. No plague cases had been reported in
U.S. residents in India.

Reported by: World Health Organization, Geneva. Div of Quarantine,
National Center for Prevention Svcs; Bacterial Zoonoses Br, Div of
Vector-Borne Infectious Diseases, National Center for Infectious
Diseases, CDC.

Editorial Note: The reliability of reported data about the plague
outbreaks in India is unknown, and criteria for clinical and
laboratory confirmation of cases have not been described. However,
the most recent data suggest that transmission has been more
geographically limited than previously reported (1,2). Studies have
been initiated to accurately assess the extent of the outbreaks,
their relation to persistent foci of transmission, and the clinical
spectrum and epidemiologic features of the illness, including the
incidence of person-to-person transmission.
     Travelers to India and other plague-endemic countries continue
to be at low risk for infection with Y. pestis. As of October 19,
health officials had identified and evaluated 12 airline passengers
who had arrived from India with febrile or other illnesses and who
disembarked in the United States. Using similar surveillance
protocols, health officials have evaluated 40 travelers in Canada
(B. Gushulak, Laboratory Center for Disease Control, Ottawa,
personal communication, October 18, 1994) and 27 in the United
Kingdom (J. Watson, Public Health Laboratory Service Communicable
Disease Surveillance Center, London, personal communication,
October 18, 1994); none have been diagnosed with plague.
     Suspected human plague cases in international travelers should
be reported through state and local health departments to CDC's
Division of Quarantine, National Center for Prevention Services,
telephone (404) 639-8107 or (404) 639-2888 (nights, Sundays, and
holidays).

          Update: Availability of Inactivated Poliovirus
                    Vaccine -- United States

     The shortage of inactivated poliovirus vaccine (IPV) in the
United States earlier this year (1) has been resolved. On September
28, 1994, the Food and Drug Administration announced the release of
IPV lots manufactured by Pasteur Merieux Serums & Vaccines, S.A.*
(Lyon, France). In addition, IPV (human diploid cell) lots
manufactured by Connaught Laboratories, Limited (Willowdale,
Ontario, Canada), were released on October 5, 1994. The release of
vaccine lots from both manufacturers, distributed by Connaught
Laboratories, Inc. (Swiftwater, Pennsylvania), should quickly
restore normal supplies.
