The Driver With Dementia

A Review of the Literature

Geri Adler, M.S.W., Susan J. Rottunda, B.S., and Maurice W. Dysken, M.D.

Geriatric Research, Education and Clinical Center, Veterans Affairs Medical Center, Minneapolis, MN.

The authors review 10 studies of driving and dementia. They found poor agreement among the researchers with regard to the stage at which a patient with dementia should discontinue driving and the appropriate tools to be used for an assessment of driving skills. They make recommendations for a comprehensive driving assessment and for the clinical management of drivers with dementia. Because the impaired driver is a medical as well as a public safety concern, clinicians and policymakers must work together to address the many problems associated with this issue.
