| 摘要： | Veterans have an elevated crash risk post-deployment facing un-intentional injury or death. Our intervention addressed Veteran drivinrisk post-deployment with a multi-factorial approach. To address risk factors faced by Veterans intervention development consideredco-occurring effects of TBI/ PTSD/ other blast related injuries and the impact of deployment experiences/exposureson driving. The intervention provided critical information on the combat veterans’ driving fitness, impact of medical and psychologicalconditions on driving, and driving rehabilitation needs. A goal of effective driving interventions is to reduce driving errors and impactreal-world driving (violations, citations and crashes). Secondary goals of promoting driving fitness include supporting key areas ofcommunity re-integration such as family functioning, employment, societal participation, and satisfaction with life. Feasibility of ourintervention was tested in prior work, and early data suggest efficacy of the OT-DI for combat veterans with mild TBI, PTSD, and/ororthopedic conditions. Analysis of outcomes from the effectiveness study (manuscript under submission) validated earlier findings –that both groups (OT-DI and a control of traffic safety education) benefitted from intervention with a reduction of driving errors(measured via simulated driving evaluation) – but the effect was greater for the OT-DI group. Findings also indicated an impact onreal world outcomes – with reductions in violations, citations, and crashes based on state department of motor vehicle records. |
