Hello – Welcome to NPC’s DWI Court assessment. Please note that “DWI Court” language is used throughout this assessment. We understand there are various names for these courts (e.g., DUI, DUII, DWAI, OUI) based on the legal language used in different jurisdictions, and, for simplicity, are using the language consistent with the National Center for DWI Courts, which covers all accountability/treatment courts for individuals charged with driving while impaired by their use of alcohol or drugs.
The purpose of this assessment is to help your DWI Court team and NPC understand how your program is uniquely implementing the various practices that fall under the 10 Key Components of Drug Courts. The questions in this assessment will ask you for information about various procedures and practices of your DWI Court program and also about your participant population. It is not a grading tool, it is a first step intended to start conversations and prompt questions and clarifications.
Please answer every question. We would like you to fill out the assessment collaboratively with your team by going over the assessment as a group (e.g., in a team meeting) or in some way checking on answers with your team members. You can print out the assessment or use the PDF version to review and complete with your team. However, the survey needs to be entered online. It takes about an hour to enter the answers once information is gathered.
In the process of filling out the assessment, if you cannot complete it in one sitting you may click on “Save and continue later” at the bottom of the page you are working on. At that point you will be asked for an email address in order for the system to save your progress, then you will receive an email from SurveyGizmo containing the link you should use in order to continue working on your assessment. Also, please be aware that on some pages you may need to scroll down in order to access all questions, and in order to click "Next", which moves you forward through the assessment.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact Jennifer Aborn at aborn@npcresearch.com or Shannon Carey at carey@npcresearch.com. Thank you very much for taking the time to complete this assessment.
