    The real questions for many older adults—and many geriatrics health professionals, to be candid—are “When?” and “What next?” A newly updated guide from the American Geriatrics Society (AGS) developed through a Cooperative Agreement with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) aims to make those questions easier to address by again putting health care professionals on the road to success in assessing and counseling older drivers. The Clinician's Guide to Assessing and Counseling Older Drivers (Pomidor, 2019) translates the latest literature, research findings, and public health initiatives into practical, person-centered advice for keeping older adults safe when navigating the open road. Reviewed and edited by an inter-professional board of nurses, physicians, social workers, occupational therapists, and pharmacists, the updated guide walks through key issues, opportunities, and challenges faced by older drivers, their health care professionals, and their caregivers.
