Abstract
Objectives. This national survey identified the content and structure of existing older driver refresher programs in Canada, along with the perceived facilitators and barriers for providing such services. Methods. A cross-Canada telephone survey was conducted with a convenience sample of 27 program managers representing 18 driver refresher programs and nine general health promotion programs for older individuals. Results. Two types of driver programs were identified: pre-road training (including classroom-style group education programs) and on-road training. Only one of the 18 driver refresher programs included visual perception and physical retraining: both interventions have some evidence of effectiveness in improving driving performance. Most program managers emphasized a strong perceived value of supporting/creating driver refresher programs to maintain safe driving. Conclusion. Findings of this study support the urgent need for evidence-based policy development and a strategic plan to ready our nation for the growing number of older drivers who require refresher programs.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
