With the aging of the Baby Boomers and ensuing Gray Tsunami in Florida leading the USA, older drivers who are unfit to drive must be identified. The gold standard on-road test is expensive, sophisticated, not available to many older drivers, and can only be validly conducted by a certified driver rehabilitation specialist of whom we have about 500 in the nation. To overcome these limitations, we have developed the Fitness-to-Drive Screening Measure (FTDS, previously known as the Safe Driving Behavior Measure or SDBM), a free web-based tool ready for use by certified driver rehabilitation specialists (CDRS), occupational therapy practitioners, other health care professionals, and the caregivers/family members of older drivers. The study used mixed methods, including item response theory, to refine self-report and proxy versions of a screening tool measuring driving behavior of older adults, the SDBM.
