abstract="BACKGROUND: In adult mental health, there are few practice guidelines for occupational therapists with regards to the assessment of driving capacities. PURPOSE: This article describes a clinical approach, with regards to driving assessments, in adult mental health. METHOD: A retrospective study was completed from a chart review of clients seen in occupational therapy, between 1999 and 2004, in the psychiatric out-patient clinic of a university-affiliated hospital. FINDINGS: The occupational therapists are not offering road tests but results on the following tests discriminate those individuals considered safe or unsafe drivers: &quot;Trail A&quot; (p=0,0004), &quot;Trail B&quot; (p=0,0005), &quot;Cognitive Behavioural Driver's Inventory&quot; (p=0.006), &quot;Continuous Performance Test&quot; (p=0,001). IMPLICATIONS: Results on some psychometric measures have an impact on recommendations made by occupational therapists assessing driving capacities. Future studies should include road test performance of clients in adult mental health.<p /> <p>Language: fr</p>",
