TL;DR: The study demonstrated how a structured PA programme positively affected the levels of agitation and wandering experienced by individuals living with a dementia as well as promoting PA just as it is for other population groups, including general populations of older people.

TL;DR: The key themes that emerged were challenges GPs face with the current driving fitness assessment, techniques used to overcome these challenges, and the process of negotiating with patients.

TL;DR: This paper found that most older drivers had not discussed or planned for driving retirement, and the barriers to discussing and planning for driving retraining were perceptions of loss, change, death and denial.

TL;DR: This paper explored the experiences of Australian family members having conversations about driving with older adults and highlighted that an individualized approach to the content of conversations is required due to; driver attributes and actions, variations in the level of support experienced by family members, differences in physical and cognitive declines with age, negative perceptions on the impact of driving retirement, and absence of acceptable alternatives to driving.

TL;DR: The Dementia and Driving Education Module and accompanying decision aid demonstrate an efficacious solution for a diverse range of health practitioners to enhance their knowledge, confidence, and competence in supporting people living with dementia with driving retirement decisions.
