The goal of this study is to better understand how to improve the way we care for older adults with acute illness, like heart attack or stroke, and how cognitive impairment or memory difficulties may affect people’s preferences for medical treatment.  Study is looking for adults with normal cognition or mild cognitive impairment age 65 or older.  Contact Theresa Gierzynski at gierzyns@med.umich.edu or 734-764-4416.  This study team sees participants in Ann Arbor and Detroit.

The goal of this study is to understand driving behavior and factors that might influence how older adults drive. Being able to drive safely allows older adults to do many life-long activities that are important to them. Despite the importance of this topic, there has been little research studying factors that impact older adults in different driving scenarios. This study is designed to collect information on older adults’ driving over multiple days and on factors, such as physiological responses, that might influence their safe driving. This information will provide an important knowledge base for the future development of personalized systems to promote safe driving for older adults.

Eligible participants will be asked to complete appointments at the University of Michigan Neuropsychology Clinic (UM Neuropsychology) and the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute (UMTRI). First, you will be asked to complete one appointment at UM Neuropsychology where you will use a computer-based driving simulator and complete a brief computer-based assessment of thinking and problem solving. This appointment will take up to 2 hours. Next, you will be asked to drive your own vehicle for five separate days while we collect on-road driving data. To do this we will ask you to visit UMTRI each morning and evening. During the first visit to UMTRI, we will install an in-vehicle data collection device and a small camera system in your vehicle. You will then be asked to drive as you normally would that day, returning to UMTRI in the evening to allow study staff to turn the data collection devices off. On each of the remaining four driving days you will return to UMTRI in the morning to turn on the data collection devices and return in the evening to turn them off. You will be asked to complete a survey while the devices are being installed in your vehicle, a brief survey when you return to UMTRI each evening, and a short interview while the devices are being removed from your vehicle at the end of the fifth driving day. The first UMTRI appointment will take up to 2 hours and the remaining UMTRI appointments will take approximately 15 minutes. Finally, for the simulator appointment and on-road driving, you will be asked to wear a chest belt and a special set of gloves that will measure physiological data like heart rate. Participants will be paid a total of $250 – distributed across the study visits.

Participation criteria: Age 65 or older; have a valid driver’s license; have been actively driving for at least one year; drive at least three times per week; drive a car that is model year 1996 or newer; are able to visit UMTRI two times per day during the five days of on-road driving data collection in your own vehicle over a two-week period.
