abstract="BACKGROUND: Older adults, family members, and professionals may benefit from a safe driving behaviour self-/proxy-report. PURPOSE: During development of the Safe Driving Behavior Measure (SDBM), we conducted focus groups to (1) generate items based on respondents' driving experiences, and (2) obtain SDBM item-refinement feedback. METHODS: Twenty-three older drivers (mean age 70.5, SD = 4.5) and eight family members (mean age 50, SD = 20) from Ontario and Florida described safe driving behaviour (Focus Groups 1 and 2) and critiqued the SDBM (Focus Group 3). We coded responses using content and thematic analyses. FINDINGS: Findings from Focus Groups 1 and 2 generated 23 themes (e.g., others' erratic driving) leading to 16 new items (e.g., avoiding collisions). Focus Group 3 findings generated 13 item revisions (e.g., indicating number of highway lanes). Implications. Using focus group findings, we created a version of the SDBM for future testing of construct validity with older drivers.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
