We conducted a series of focus groups to explore the information needs of
clinicians and consumers related to arthritis and driving. An open coding
analysis identified common themes across both consumer and clinician-based focus
groups that underscored the importance of addressing driving-related concerns and
the challenges associated with assessing safety. The results revealed that
although driving is critical for maintaining independence and community mobility,
drivers with arthritis experience several problems that can affect safe operation
of a motor vehicle. Findings from this study are part of a broader research
initiative that will inform the development of the Arthritis and Driving toolkit.
This toolkit outlines strategies to support safe mobility for people with
arthritis and will be an important resource in the coming years given the aging
population.
