TY - JOUR PY - 2007// TI - Older Individuals' Perceptions Regarding Driving: Focus Group Findings JO - Physical and occupational therapy in geriatrics A1 - Kua, Ailene A1 - Korner-Bitensky, Nicol A1 - Desrosiers, Johanne SP - 21 EP - 40 VL - 25 IS - 4 N2 - This reports on a focus group study that explored older individuals' perceptions of skill-specific driver training and factors that would stimulate interest and participation in a driving program. Three focus groups (each with 18 members) were conducted with former and current drivers, 75 years and older, living in Montreal, Canada. The participants were enthusiastic about a driving program and provided recommendations for program content, including traffic law refreshers, retraining of driving-related skills, and on-road driving training/evaluation. The author conclude that their focus group research was the first step in developing effective and practical driving interventions for healthy older drivers based on their desired needs and interests.
