Medicinal Drugs: Critical Review of Present Knowledge and Statements for Discussion

摘要

The overall assessment of the effects of medicinal drug use on driving performance results from the literature on epidemiology, impairment, risk assessment and risk factors, risk perception, risk communication, and assessment of fitness to drive (Walsh et al., 2004; Kelly et al., 2004). In reviewing the literature some common findings are presented allowing us to make up our minds and to conclude how our present knowledge will guide us to actions in order to prevent the use of medicinal drugs to be of concern to traffic safety.
