We are working on a research study (Candrive) looking at older drivers, 70 years of age and older, and thought you membership might be interested in participating. Our study has obtained the support of the Ministry of Transportation, the Canadian Medical Association, and CAA among others.
Purpose of Study:
Candrive is a 5 year study taking place in 7 sites across Canada, including Toronto. The primary research goal of this study is to determine the key factors that impact older driver’s safety. The results of this study will assist Candrive researchers in achieving their primary objective of determining the risk factors that are associated with older driver involvement in motor vehicle crashes. Results from this study will help with the development of an in-office decision tool to help physicians identify older drivers who may need further assessment of their driving ability. The decision tool, by identifying high risk drivers, will allow physicians to confirm the safety of the majority of older drivers.
More information about this study can be found on our website www.candrive.ca
