DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The ability to identify older drivers at risk for either crash involvement or driving cessation has clear societal and health care benefits. Despite technological advances in automotive safety, older adults who are involved in vehicle crashes are more prone to suffer injury or death, and their recovery from injury is much longer. On the other hand, mobility is critical for maintaining social contacts, independent functioning, health, and a satisfying quality of life. Effective methods for extending safe mobility for older adults through early detection of skills impairments followed by intervention could have far reaching impact as more and more adults achieve advanced ages in coming decades. There is abundant evidence now, from many published and replicated studies, that a measure of complex speed of processing, the UFOV(r) test has adequate sensitivity and specificity to identify high-risk older drivers. However, this test is too cumbersome for screening on a mass basis. The focus of the present application is to evaluate the feasibility of developing a very brief (2-3 minute), self-administered screening version of the UFOV(r) test that could be widely used for early detection of high-risk older drivers.

描述（由申请人提供）：识别老年驾驶员参与碰撞或停止驾驶的风险的能力具有明显的社会和医疗保健效益。尽管汽车安全技术取得了进步，但参与车祸的老年人更容易受伤或死亡，而且他们从受伤中恢复的时间要长得多。另一方面，流动性对于维持社会联系、独立运作、健康和令人满意的生活质量至关重要。通过早期发现技能障碍，然后进行干预，延长老年人安全行动的有效方法可能会产生深远的影响，因为在未来几十年里，越来越多的成年人进入老年。从许多已发表和重复的研究中，现在有大量证据表明，UFOV（r）测试是一种复杂处理速度的测量方法，具有足够的灵敏度和特异性来识别高风险的老年驾驶员。然而，这种测试对于在质量基础上进行筛查来说过于繁琐。本申请的重点是评估开发一种非常简短（2-3分钟）的、自我管理的UFOV测试筛选版本的可行性，该UFOV测试可广泛用于早期检测高风险的老年驾驶员。
