RESEARCH ON OLDER DRIVER SAFETY
Informed Consent Information
Your browser must allow cookies for you to participate.


Dear Dr.

We are interested in Canadian psychologists’ views on driving assessment for older adults (over age 60). We are conducting a national study based at the University of Victoria. Your contact information was drawn from provincial data bases of registered psychologists.

WE ARE ASKING YOU:

We are asking that you take 15 minutes to complete our on-line survey. Your participation will help increase our understanding of driving related issues. This information will identify areas that need improvement in relation to identifying at-risk drivers. We hope this will aid in the development of positive policy and practice recommendations.

CONFIDENTIALITY

The survey is confidential. Your comments and answers will remain anonymous. We will insure that you will only be identified by a number. In addition, your email address will be removed from our data base after data collection and it will never be sold or passed along to any other entities.

IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS

The validity of the study relies on a high response rate from psychologists across Canada. We appreciate your time and contribution to this serious concern to Canadian society and to psychologists who are potentially liable when their clients experience driving accidents.

If you have any questions or comments about this study or your participation, please contact the principal investigator (Janet Love at 250-472-4469 or janets@uvic.ca ). If we do not hear from you in two weeks, we will contact you to insure that you have received this survey.

Thank you very much for taking the time to participate in this important project.

Sincerely,

Janet Love, MSc
