Methods: A total of 90 participants from a multicentre study were included. Participants were categorised into three groups: (1) the group judged fit to drive (FIT); (2) the group judged not fit to drive (UNFIT); and (3) the group who had lost their driver's licence due to legal sanctions (LEGAL). The participants\u2019 AUDIT scores, earlier treatment episodes and results from neuropsychological tests of reaction time, attention and visuospatial ability were included in the analyses. Results: We found a significant difference in the severity of alcohol use disorder (AUD) and visuospatial abilities between the FIT and UNFIT groups. Half of the UNFIT group had at least mild visuospatial difficulties, compared to only a quarter in the FIT group. There were no group differences in reaction time or attentional measures. The LEGAL group had more severe AUD than the other groups. Conclusion: The FIT group did not perform differently from the UNFIT group on attention and reaction time measures. The UNFIT group had more visuospatial impairments, but even half of this group had normal scores. It is uncertain whether the differences between the two groups are of practical significance. The quality of health professionals\u2019 evaluations may be questioned, and the results highlight the need for more reliable and valid criteria for doing fitness to drive evaluations.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/14550725231219972","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,9]],"date-time":"2024-01-09T04:11:06Z","timestamp":1704773466000},"page":"426-438","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Alcohol use disorder and fitness to drive: Discrepancies between health professionals\u2019 evaluations and objective measures of alcohol use and cognitive functioning"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"41","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0003-8546-2692","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kristoffer","family":"H\u00f8iland","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Vestfold Hospital Trust, Norway"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Espen Kristian Ajo","family":"Arnevik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Section for Clinical Addiction Research, Oslo University Hospital, Norway"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jens","family":"Egeland","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Vestfold Hospital Trust and Institute of Psychology, University of Oslo, Norway"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-14550725231219972","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/0011000005285875"},{"key":"bibr2-14550725231219972","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1590\/S1980-57642009DN30400004"},{"key":"bibr3-14550725231219972","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/oso\/9780192844484.001.0001"},{"key":"bibr4-14550725231219972","volume-title":"The alcohol use disorders identification test","author":"Babor T.
