The effectiveness of intervention strategies to reduce motor vehicle crashes involving older drivers : systematic reviews and meta-analyses Desapriya, Ediriweera; Subzwari, Sayed; Scime, Giulia; Pike, Ian, 1958-

Abstract

A systematic review of the current literature was undertaken to evaluate the efficacy of various intervention strategies for reducing the risk and rate of motor vehicle crashes (MVC) involving older drivers. Six different types of strategies which included: driver-related, vehicle-related, road infrastructure-related, clinical-related, legal- and policy-related, and screening strategies were assessed for effectiveness. Further, risk factors pertaining to older driver-related MVCs were researched. Based on the collective evidence, a plan has been formulated for a comprehensive final report of all the systematically searched publications for the period 1990 to 2007 related to older driver safety.
