abstract="Driver training has the potential to keep older adults safe behind-the-wheel for longer, yet there is limited evidence describing factors that influence their  willingness to participate in training. Focus groups with community-dwelling older  drivers (n = 23; 70-90 years) and semi-structured interviews with driving  instructors (n = 6) and occupational therapists (n = 5) were conducted to identify  these factors. Qualitative descriptive analyses highlighted how self-awareness of  behind-the-wheel abilities in later life can influence an older adult's motivation  to participate in driver training, as well as their willingness to discuss their  behaviors. Collision-involvement and near-misses prompted participants to reflect on  their driving abilities and their openness to feedback. Participants' preferences  for learning contexts that use a strengths-based approach and validate the driving  experience of older drivers, while providing feedback on behind-the-wheel  performance, were raised. Older driver training initiatives that consider the needs  of the aging population in their design can promote road safety and community  mobility.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
