Research Study for Older Drivers

A research study funded by the U.S. Department of Transportation, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is seeking volunteer participants between the ages of 60 and 89 who have a valid driver’s license and drive at least 3 times per week. The purpose of this research is to examine the conditions under which drivers in various age groups choose to drive and how general driving habits vary with age. The study involves 5 steps:

	Task	Time
Step 1	Phone or face-to-face interview to see if you qualify for the study	5 Minutes or Less
Step 2	Installation of a data collection system in your car by study technicians without altering or damaging your car in any way	5-20 Minutes
Step 3	Driving your own vehicle just as you normally would for 30 days	No added time
Step 4	Completing a short battery of standard tests on a computer at a nearby location	10-30 Minutes
Step 5	Driving on a planned route with a driving expert	60 Minutes

You will be paid for the time you volunteer if you are accepted into this study. You will receive $50 at the time the data collection device is installed in your vehicle (Step 2). You will receive an additional $150 for your participation in the study if you complete the 30-day driving period, computer-based session, and drive with the driving expert (Steps 3, 4, and 5).

The study will take place in the Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill area. All data collected will be confidential, and results will only be reported at the group level.
