Samenvatting
This paper presents the results of a focus group study exploring older individuals' perceptions of skill-specific driver training and factors stimulating interest and participation in a driving program. Three focus groups (n = 18) were conducted with former and current drivers, 75 years and older, living in Montreal, Canada. Participants were enthusiastic about a driving program and provided recommendations including program content such as traffic law refreshers, retraining of driving-related skills, and on-road driving training/evaluation. This focus group research is the first step in developing effective and practical driving interventions for healthy older drivers based on their desired needs and interests. (Author/publisher)
