Objective: This study examines the constructs from the health action process approach (HAPA) theoretical model (Schwarzer, 1992) on future drink driving avoidance by first time drink driving offenders. This research presents an advance in health related theory by the novel application of the health model to predict risk avoidance. Method: Baseline interviews were conducted with 198 first time drink driving offenders at the time of court appearance, and offenders were followed up 6-8 months following the offense date. The key outcome variables used in 3 stages were behavioral expectation, planning, and self-reported avoidance of drink driving at follow-up. Results: Bivariate and multivariate analyses were conducted for each stage. High task self-efficacy and female gender were significantly related to having no behavioral expectation of future drink driving. High maintenance self-efficacy was significantly related to high levels of planning to avoid future drink driving. Those with higher planning scores at baseline had significantly higher odds of reporting that they had avoided drink driving at follow up. Conclusion: Planning plays an important role in drink driving rehabilitation and should be a focus of early intervention programs aimed at reducing drink driving recidivism following a first offense. Self-efficacy is an important construct to consider for the behavior and could strengthen a planning focused intervention.

Summary: This paper advocates for the use of consistent terminology in injury data linkage studies, emphasizes important factors to consider when managing linked injury data, and encourages thorough documentation and robust discourse around different data management approaches to ensure reproducibility and consistency. Careful consideration of decisions made when identifying injury cohorts and grouping data is essential, as these choices can significantly impact epidemiological and clinical findings derived from linked injury data studies.

Summary: The study found significant differences in sensory processing patterns among young people with SUD compared to the general population, with high rates of comorbid PTSD, psychological distress, and low quality-of-life. Screening for sensory patterns and applying transdiagnostic approaches may be valuable for optimizing outcomes in this population.
