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）：识别有撞车事故或驾驶暂停风险的老年驾驶员的能力具有明显的社会和医疗保健福利。尽管汽车安全方面的技术进步，但参与车辆撞车事故的老年人更容易受伤或死亡，而且他们从伤害中恢复的时间更长。另一方面，流动性对于维持社会接触，独立功能，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，随着越来越多的成年人在未来几十年中实现高级年龄的增长，通过早期发现技能障碍，可以扩展老年人安全流动性的有效方法。现在，从许多已发表和复制的研究中，有大量证据表明，UFOV（R）测试的一项复杂速度的量度具有足够的敏感性和特异性，可以识别高风险的老年驱动因素。但是，该测试太麻烦了，无法在群众中进行筛查。本应用的重点是评估开发非常简短（2-3分钟）的UFOV（R）测试的自我管理筛选版本的可行性，该版本可广泛用于早期检测高危老年驱动程序。
