Development of the International Expert Advisory Panel on Community Health and Transport (I-CHaT) to coordinate research on transport mobility

Editorial: British Journal of Occupational Therapy 2018, Vol. 81(5) 245–246 During the past 10 years, there has been a major shift in our understanding of the nexus between transportation and health. Health concerns evolved from road safety alone to encompass a broader view of the important relationships between transportation mobility and engagement in out-of-home activities. Occupational therapists have a leading role in this area, reflecting the American Occupational Therapy Association (2014) Occupational Therapy Practice Framework that includes driving and community mobility as an important Instrumental Activity of Daily Living.
