Abstract:

The purpose of this effort was to explore the complex interrelationships among health, economics, and driving cessations in the older adult population. While there is a significant body of literature for each of these areas there is not an established methodology to objectively explore the impact of changes in demographics, health, and driving and predict potential future impacts. Specifically this technical memorandum proposes a conceptual basis for a methodology to: ; •Examine the impact of loss of “out of home” mobility (mobility that permits contact with the external world and leads to interaction with people outside the home), due to driving cessation, on health and health care costs. “Out of home” mobility makes it possible to contact with people, obtain services, and participate in activities. ; •Identify methods to quantify economic impacts of loss of contact with the larger world on the individual, family, community, and society.
