Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Amy R Manning"
- Recent research by Amy R Manning primarily focuses on the relationship between alcohol use, driving behavior, and interventions like ignition interlock devices (IIDs) among convicted drinking and driving offenders, particularly during and after the COVID-19 pandemic.
- Manning's studies reveal significant changes in alcohol consumption patterns and driving behaviors in individuals using IIDs, highlighting the need for tailored interventions to enhance adherence and prevent recidivism among high-risk drivers.
- The research also addresses the complexities of mental health and substance use, noting that while IIDs can reduce impaired driving, they may not fully account for other substance use behaviors (like cannabis), suggesting a need for more comprehensive substance use interventions.
