Abstract

Objective: This study aims to focus on the follow-up processes of 128 people who applied to Driver Behavior Improvement Training (DBET) and were referred to the Alcohol and Drug Addiction Treatment Center (ADATC) with a prediagnosis of alcohol use disorder (AUD). By providing access to critical information such as sociodemographic characteristics, follow-up times, number of admissions, and AUD detection rates, data review will help to plan health services more effectively and develop a comprehensive understanding of support processes for individuals with a prediagnosis of AUD. Material and Method: We retrospectively analyzed the data of 128 individuals who applied to the ADATC forensic outpatient clinic between October 2021 and October 2023 and received a preliminary diagnosis of AUD from the DBET. Results: The mean age was 41.85±8.79 years, and the median number of referrals was 9. The follow-up period was 237.09±171.35 days; of the participants, 96.9% were male, 78.1% were primary school graduates, 43% were followed for less than six months, and 57% for more than six months. The rate of individuals with positive results was 64.8%, and the rate of individuals with long-term positive results was 41.4%. No significant differences were found between the participants in the 'positive' and 'continuation' status regarding age, number of applications, follow-up periods, gender, and educational level (p>0.05). However, in the subgroup analysis of follow-up periods, a significant difference was observed in the follow-up rate for more than six months between participants with positive results compared to those with a follow-up time of <6 months (p<0.05). Conclusion: It indicates that individuals with a positive outcome succeed more when followed up for longer. The study contributes to the understanding of the follow-up processes of individuals presenting with a prediagnosis of AUD and the development of a comprehensive understanding of providing adequate support.
