Characteristics of older at-risk drinkers who drive after drinking and those who do not drive after drinking.

Objective: To describe and compare characteristics of older adults who drive after drinking and those who do not, whether an intervention addressing at-risk drinking reduces risk among those reporting driving after drinking, and reasons reported for driving after drinking.

Methods: Secondary data analysis of a randomized trial testing the efficacy of a multifaceted intervention to reduce at-risk drinking among adults with a mean age of 68 years in primary care (N = 631).

Results: Almost a quarter of at-risk drinkers reported driving after drinking (N = 154).
