Work Package 5 (WP5) of the integrated EU research project DRUID (Driving under the Influence of Drugs, Alcohol and Medicines) deals with rehabilitation of substance impaired drivers. The overall aim of WP5 is to increase knowledge and to elaborate Europe-wide standards for intervention measures for drivers under the influence of alcohol (DUI) or illicit drugs (DUID). The aim of this study is to provide information to what degree driver rehabilitation (DR) programmes for drink-driving (DUI) and drug-driving (DUID) offenders currently in use in Europe are in line with the conditions and requirements identified as good practice in the frame of the WP5 research. In general, this process of checking if something satisfies certain criteria is defined as validation (Wikipedia, 2008). The compatibility analysis carried out in WP5.2.4 refers to this broader understanding. It differs from the definition in psychology and the human factors context where validation means the process of assessing the degree to which a test or another instrument of measurement does indeed measure what it purports to measure.
