摘要：	The objective of this project was to create a valid and effective self-screening instrument that provided individualized information for older adult drivers. The project intended to improve upon existing self-screening instruments by focusing on health concerns rather than the medical condition or medications that produced the concern, allowing for a much more comprehensive self-screening than has been possible previously. By linking the severity of health concerns to their effect on critical driving skills, the instrument provides five types of individualized feedback: general awareness; self awareness; individualized recommendations for behavioral changes; individualized recommendations for further evaluation; and individualized recommendations for vehicle modifications. Development involved a literature review, expert panel, focus groups, workbook logic, and programming the instrument. The evaluation portion of the study involved administering a questionnaire to 68 older adult participants after they had completed the self-screening instrument. The validation portion of the activity involved statistically comparing participants results from the self-screening instrument to results from an on-road driving assessment and a series of clinical tests to evaluate cognitive, visual, and psychomotor abilities.
