title: The validity of the Color Trail Test in the pre-driver assessment of individuals with acquired brain injury.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To examine the validity of the Color Trails Test (CTT), a culture- fair analogue of the Trails Test, in the pre-driver assessment of individuals with acquired brain injury (ABI).
  
  
  METHODS
  Retrospective study.
  
  
  METHODS
  30 participants with ABI completed the CTT and Useful Field of View (UFOV) in a driving rehabilitation clinic. Within the same week an on-road evaluation was conducted by a driving rehabilitation specialist, and a driving instructor.
  
  
  RESULTS
  50% of the participants passed the on-road evaluation and 50% failed. Individuals who passed the on-road test performed the CTT1 and CTT2 faster than those who failed, however the difference between the pass/fail groups was significant only for the CTT1. A correlation analysis between the CTT subtests (CTT1 and CTT2) and the UFOV subtests revealed significant, moderate correlations between these measures.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The CTT1 may contribute to the pre-driving screening by rapidly identifying those individuals who are most at risk for unsafe driving behaviors. Further studies are required with a larger representative sample.
