Effectiveness of a Driving Intervention on Safe Community Mobility for Returning Combat Veterans

This will be completed thrice, at baseline, post-test1 and at post-test2 (3 months after post test 1)

Clinical Driving Assessment includes Optec vision screening, Useful Field of View, Range of Motion, Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) and Strength tests. This will be completed thrice, at baseline, post-test1 and at post-test2 (3 months after post test 1)

This will be completed thrice, at baseline, post-test1 and at post-test2 (3 months after post test 1)

This will be completed thrice, at baseline, post-test1 and at post-test2 (3 months after post test 1

Fitness-to-Drive-Screening Measure will be completed twice, at baseline and at end of study

This involves driving a simulator fitted simulated drives engineered to to address Veteran's driving concerns such as reactions to other drivers and road conditions(e.g. debris). The simulator is used at baseline and at post-test1 and 2. The intervention and traffic safety education session 3 also occurs using the driving simulator.

This involves the following: Session1: general traffic safety discussion; Session 2: Rules of the road and acknowledgement of the road discussion and Session 3: driving the simulator without any feedback from traffic safety professional

This has three sessions: 1. Driving evaluator reviews explicit driving errors with Combat Veteran; 2. driving evaluator provide tailored strategies to mitigate errors; Combat Veteran drives simulator with targeted feedback from driving evaluator.

This involves and on-road driving test supervised by Driving Rehabilitation Specialist. To be completed at baseline and at month 5

The simulator-drives evaluation group will evaluate the current simulator-triggers prior to baseline testing
