'It is empowering and gives people dignity in a very difficult process': A multistage, multimethod qualitative study to understand the views of end users in the cultural adaptation of a dementia and driving decision aid.

Background: Decisions about driving for individuals living with dementia (ILWD) can be challenging. There are limited evidence-based person-centred interventions in the United Kingdom that support decisions about transitioning to not driving or guidelines for developing decision aids for ILWD. This study aimed to understand the important features of a decision aid through the cultural adaptation of Australian dementia and driving decision aid (DDDA) for ILWD residing in the United Kingdom.

"The Challenge is Not to Make Her Feel Old and Bad": Exploring Australian Family Member Experiences of Conversations About Driving With Older Adults Using an Online Survey.

This study explored the experiences of Australian family members having conversations about driving with older adults.

One hundred and fifty-six intergenerational family members across Australia completed the survey.

"I don't trust it, so I don't read it": How do older Australians navigate and search for information about their health and driving?

Objectives: Driving is pivotal to successful aging, yet older people may need to adapt their driving to changes associated with aging or transition to driving retirement at some stage. However, most older people are reluctant to discuss or plan for changes to their future mobility. This study describes formative research to inform a social marketing campaign to promote the "DRIVING AND STAYING INDEPENDENT" resource assisting older drivers to make informed decisions about timely changes to their driving.

Having the conversation about vision for safe driving with older adults: an exploratory study of eyecare professional experiences in England and Australia.

Improved access to resources/training would be beneficial and help eyecare professionals navigate more difficult conversations about driving, e.g.

Evaluation of an education intervention for Australian health practitioners to support people with dementia with driving decisions: A pretest-posttest survey.

Objective: Drivers with dementia will at some stage need to stop driving. The timing of driving retirement is informed by the advice of health practitioners, however many find this task complex and challenging as they feel unprepared or lack confidence, having limited training and education on dementia and driving. Few opportunities exist for Australian health practitioners to advance learning about dementia and driving.

Driving assessments for older adult patients: Interviews with general practitioners to gauge current strategies and future directions.

The objective of this study was to understand GPs' attitudes towards driving assessments and to highlight guideline limitations and possible solutions.

Method: Semi-structured interviews with a sample of 10 GPs were audio-recorded, transcribed and thematically analysed.
