Abstract:

To provide families, friends, healthcare providers, law enforcement personnel, and community and social services with information to assist older adults whose capabilities make them potentially unsafe to drive, a series of research tasks were conducted, including a literature review of public information materials on family and friends' involvement with the driving decisions of older adults, identification of current state and provincial requirements and practices regarding identification of high risk older drivers, and identification of information resource needs among professionals. Researchers also conducted a series of focus groups to determine the feasibility of involving family and friends in identifying and helping at-risk older drivers limit or stop unsafe driving. The final result of these efforts was the development of guidelines and materials on what concerned families need to do to help at-risk older drivers. /Abstract from report summary page/
