Trial Outcomes & Findings for Advancing Understanding of Transportation Options (NCT NCT04141891)

NCT ID: NCT04141891

Last Updated: 2025-02-21

Results Overview

Decision conflict scale (DCS) is calculated from 16 items, with each item ranging from 0 (strongly agree) to 4 (strongly disagree). The total score is reported on a 0-100 scale by summing all responses, dividing by 16 and multiplying by 25. Higher scores represent greater levels of uncertainty in decision-making (higher decision conflict = worse outcome), and interventions often aim to reduce decision conflict (lower decision conflict = greater likelihood of implementing a decision = better outcome).

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 0 (Post-intervention)

Population: Drivers post-randomization at baseline visit. Missing N = 8 participants' outcomes (N = 3 control, N = 5 DDA) because they did not respond to one or more questions required to calculate this outcome.

Decision conflict scale (DCS) is calculated from 16 items, with each item ranging from 0 (strongly agree) to 4 (strongly disagree). The total score is reported on a 0-100 scale by summing all responses, dividing by 16 and multiplying by 25. Higher scores represent greater levels of uncertainty in decision-making (higher decision conflict = worse outcome), and interventions often aim to reduce decision conflict (lower decision conflict = greater likelihood of implementing a decision = better outcome).

Population: Drivers at post-intervention. Missing N = 3 participants' outcomes (N = 2 control, N = 1 DDA) because they did not respond to one or more questions required to calculate this outcome.

For the values clarity subscale, three decision conflict scale (DCS) items (Likert scale responses from 0 \['strongly agree'\] to 4 \['strongly disagree'\]) are summed, divided by 3 and multiplied by 25; scores range from 0 (extremely clear) to 100 (extremely unclear about personal values); lower scores represent higher values clarity, which is a better outcome. Lower values clarity subscale scores are associated with positive outcomes. The measure will be assessed in drivers immediately following administration of control condition or intervention.

Timeframe: Day 0 (Post-intervention)

Population: Drivers at post-randomization. Missing N = 7 participants' outcomes (N = 5 control, N = 2 DDA) because they did not respond to one or more questions required to calculate this outcome.

The following true/false questions will be used to examine participants' safe driving knowledge: 1) Older drivers pose a bigger risk to other drivers and pedestrians than younger drivers do; 2) Drivers aged 70 years and older are more likely to be hurt or killed if they are in a crash; 3) There is a milestone age when everyone should stop driving; 4) With age, a person needs more light to see well; 5) Getting lost on familiar roads is a sign that it might be time to stop driving. A higher number of correctly answered questions indicate better outcomes. Knowledge will be defined as the percentage of correct scores of the 5 questions (ranging from 0% \[worst outcome\] to 100% \[best outcome\]). The measure will be assessed in drivers immediately following administration of control condition or intervention.

Population: Drivers with any depression change-scores that could be calculated (had to have baseline depression and data at at least one follow-up). Missing N = 12 participants' outcomes (N = 7 control, N = 5 DDA) either of for two reasons: (i) they withdrew from the study between baseline and 6 month follow-up (N = 8 total; N = 4 control, N = 4 DDA) or (ii) they did not respond to one or more questions needed to calculate this outcome at baseline and/or follow-up (N = 4 total; N = 3 control, N = 1 DDA).

Depression will be measured using the PROMIS Short Form 4-item scale (4a Adult v1.0), with higher PROMIS scores indicating higher depression. PROMIS scores are presented as standardized T-scores (mean=50, standard deviation=10). Lower PROMIS depression scores indicate better outcomes (lower depression). Change in depression is calculated as the PROMIS depression score at each time point (6, 12, 18, or 24 months) minus the score at baseline (pre-randomization). Since PROMIS scores at each time point can range from 41.0 to 79.4, change in depression PROMIS scores can range from -38.4 to +38.4. Change-scores \> 0 represent increases in depression (poor outcome), and changes \<= 0 represent maintained or decreased depression (better outcome).

Population: Drivers who had 1+ change-score(s) that could be calculated for decision regret (had to have 6 month decision regret and at least one subsequent follow-up). Missing N = 53 participants' outcomes (N = 20 control, N = 33 DDA) because: (i) they withdrew from the study between baseline and 12 months (N = 15; N = 8 control, N = 7 DDA) or (ii) they did not respond question(s) required to calculate this outcome at 6 month and/or subsequent follow-up visits (N = 38 total, N = 12 control, N = 26 DDA).

Change in decision regret will be measured by the Ottawa Decision Regret Scale. This validated measure correlates with decision satisfaction and conflict, and overall quality of life. Scored from 0-100, high scores represent higher regret. Lower scores indicate better outcomes. Decision regret was measured at 6, 12, 18, and 24 months, so change in decision regret can be calculated from 12 months (vs. 6 months), 18 months (vs. 6 months), and 24 months (vs 6 months). Since decision regret scores range from 0-100, change in decision regret scores range from -100 to + 100, with change-scores \<= 0 representing maintenance or decreases in decision regret (positive outcome) and change-scores \> 0 representing increased decision regret over time (negative outcome).

Population: Drivers who have at least one life space change-score that can be calculated (required to have baseline life space score and data at at least one follow-up). Missing N = 19 participants' outcomes (N = 11 control, N = 8 DDA) because: (i) they withdrew between baseline and 6 month FU (N = 8 total, N = 4 control, N = 4 DDA) or (ii) they did not respond to one or more questions required to calculate this outcome at baseline and/or follow-up visits (N = 11 total, N = 7 control, N = 4 DDA).

Life space is a global measure of mobility and community engagement. The Life-Space Assessment instrument (UAB Study of Aging) is a validated tool assessing recent mobility and function. Composite scores range from 0 (bedbound) to 120 (travel out of town every day without assistance); scores of ≤60 are correlated with lower levels of social participation and higher mortality. Higher scores indicate better outcomes. Change in life space can be calculated at 6 months (vs baseline), 12 months (vs baseline), 18 months (vs baseline), and 24 months (vs baseline). Since life space scores range from 0-120, change-scores in life space can range from -120 to +120. Maintained or increased life space (change-scores \>= 0) are positive outcomes, and decreased life space (change-scores \< 0) are negative outcomes.

Population: Drivers with a driving frequency response at at least one time point (6 months, 12 months, 18 months, and/or 24 months). Missing N = 11 participants' outcomes (N = 6 control, N = 5 DDA) because they (i) withdrew from the study between baseline and 6 month follow-up (N = 8 total, N = 4 control, N = 4 DDA) or (ii) did not respond to this question at any follow-up visits (N = 3 total, N = 2 control, N = 1 DDA).

Self-reported driving frequency will be measured by number of days per week participants drive, with consideration of higher or lower frequency as a positive or negative outcome in the context of participant's intent to drive with lower or higher frequency. In the final study survey, this question was reworded, so participants were asked "during the past 6 months, have you reduced the number of days per week you normally drive?" with response options of "yes", "no", "I don't know". Percentage of those who answered "yes" at each time point are reported.

Population: Drivers with any situational driving avoidance change-scores that could be calculated (had to have baseline and data at at least one follow-up). Missing N = 11 participants' outcomes (N = 6 control, N = 5 DDA) for two reasons: (i) they withdrew from the study between baseline and 6 month follow-up (N = 8 total; N = 4 control, N = 4 DDA) or (ii) they did not respond to one or more questions needed to calculate this outcome at baseline and/or follow-up (N = 3 total, N = 2 control, N = 1 DDA).

Driving avoidance in certain situations will be measured by asking participants about their avoidance of riskier driving situations, e.g., nighttime driving, with consideration of avoidance in certain situations as a positive or negative outcome in the context of participant's intent to avoid these situations. Avoidance of night driving was worded as: "Using a scale from 1 to 7 where 1 is Not At All Comfortable and 7 is Completely Comfortable, how comfortable do you feel in the following situation?", and the situation presented was "Driving at night?". Higher scores indicate greater comfort with driving at night, and lower scores represent less comfort. Therefore, change-scores can range from -6 to + 6, with change-scores \>= 0 indicate maintained or increased comfort with driving at night, and change-scores \< 0 indicate reduced comfort in driving at night.

Population: Drivers with 1 or more time points of data on driving cessation. Missing N = 21 participants' outcomes (N = 8 control, N = 13 DDA) for two reasons: (i) they withdrew from the study between baseline and 6 month (N = 8 total; N = 4 control, N = 4 DDA) or (ii) they did not respond to this question follow-up (N = 13 total, N = 4 control, N = 9 DDA). This question was inadvertently not added to data collection until the 6 month follow-up period, which is why sample sizes were smaller at 6 months.

Driving cessation will be measured by asking participants whether they are currently driving; all participants were currently driving at study baseline. Consideration of driving cessation as a positive or negative outcome will be determined in the context of participant's intent to engage in driving cessation. This question was worded as "Do you currently drive?" with response options of "yes" and "no". The numbers reported are those who said "no", which represents driving cessation. The wording of this question was added to the study after an early DSMB meeting, so less data are available for it at earlier time points.
