AnnotationIn this study the authors administered the Assessment of Readiness for Mobility Transition (ARMT) to 301 older drivers and compared total scores with participant characteristics. Overall 18% of participants were not attitudinally ready for mobility transition, while 19% were very ready. Notably participants with hospitalisations in the past year were either very ready for mobility transition (20% vs 14% without hospitalisations) or not ready at all (30% vs 17%). Significant health events may polarise reactions towards mobility transition. Individualising communication about driving cessation readiness could help address such differing views. To further consider its effectiveness ARMT could be utilised in mobility transition counselling interventions. (JL).
