A devastating loss: driving cessation due to young onset dementia

Research output: Contribution to journalEditorial

Abstract

Driving cessation has a significant impact on the well-being and community participation of people with young onset dementia (YOD).

Family members of people with YOD can experience an extreme caring load that is worsened by driving cessation.

Driving cessation in young people with dementia is challenging for health professionals to enact.

The impacts of driving cessation can be mitigated via provision of equitable access to transport alternatives.
