Summary

Many U.S. military personnel are returning from Operation Enduring Freedom/Operation Iraqi Freedom (OEF/OIF) deployments with histories of trauma while driving in military vehicles. The proposed project aims to develop and test a rehabilitative technology aimed at enhancing emotion regulation and reducing operator-related risk during civilian driving.
