Systematic Review of Driving Risk and the Efficacy of Compensatory Strategies in Persons with Dementia

OBJECTIVES: To determine whether persons with dementia are at greater driving risk and, if so, to estimate the magnitude of this risk and determine whether there are efficacious methods to compensate for or accommodate it.
