Volunteers needed for SENSE-MD: Survey for Mature Driver
We are inviting Canadian residents aged 55 or older who currently hold or have held a valid driver’s license within the past year to participate in our study, “SENSE-MD: Survey for Mature Drivers.” The study involves a 20-30 minute anonymous online survey about your driving experiences and attitudes toward driving safety technology. You can complete it at your convenience before October 31, 2024.
Your participation will help us develop technology that provides older drivers with personalized risk information from car sensors, improving safety, adjusting driving habits, and supporting aging in place.
As a thank you, you will have the opportunity to enter a draw for one of ten $25 Amazon gift cards. Winners will be contacted by email after October 31, 2024.
If you have any questions about the research, please email Lindsay McCauley at lindsaymccauley@cunet.carleton.ca.
This project was reviewed and cleared by the Carleton University Research Ethics Board B. Clearance #121710. If you have any ethical concerns with the study, please contact the Carleton University Research Ethics Board, preferably by email at ethics@carleton.ca or you can leave a message by phone at 613-520-2600 ext. 2517.
