摘要: | The Safe Mobility for Older People Notebook is a research product of the “Model Driver Screening and Evaluation Program” project sponsored by NHTSA, and is intended as a resource to support program initiatives promoting the safe mobility of older persons across all States and Provinces. This document represents a snapshot of current knowledge and practices at the State and Provincial level. Topics include the identification of high-risk older drivers; the counseling and remediation of at-risk drivers; public information and educational tools to support program implementation; and mobility options and alternatives to transportation for seniors. Coverage of these topics is provided in 70 subtopic discussions, containing three sections each: (1) a summary of outcomes in relevant research studies and implementation efforts; (2) conclusions/preliminary recommendations pertinent to the development of a national Model Program; and (3) references identifying data sources. An Annotated Research Compendium of Driver Assessment Techniques for Age-Related Functional Impairments is also provided as further rationale and supporting evidence for conclusions and recommendations found in this document. |
