An injury surveillance system in a defined population of persons 65 years of age or older was created to permit epidemiologic studies of the influence of prescribed medications on risk of motor vehicle crashes. This system has been created by linking computerized Medicaid files, containing records of filled prescriptions, with driver license and crash report files for the state of Tennessee. The system has been utilized to determine whether or not psychoactive drugs, which in younger drivers are associated with increased risk of crash, are also risks for elderly drivers.
