Abstract

Researchers are calling for increased studies with regard to differences between older men and women drivers. This literature review focuses on gender comparisons for self-regulation of driving and driving cessation. We reviewed 20 articles and assigned levels of evidence. Seven studies were level II (eg, prospective cohort) and 13 were level III (eg, cross-sectional). Subsequently, 5 evidence-based recommendations were made to address gender-specific needs of older men and women. Additional research is needed to clarify gender patterns for self-regulation and cessation and increase the level of evidence supporting gender-specific driving interventions. (Author/publisher)
