The Multiple Errands Test–Home Version and Its Association With Driving Potential: A Pilot Study
Although our findings suggest that the MET-Home is unlikely to screen for driving potential, further research of performance-based assessment tool use by occupational therapists is needed to support identification of the optimal type and timing of client referral for comprehensive assessment. Plain-Language Summary: The Multiple Errands Test-Home Version (MET-Home) is commonly completed by occupational therapists. Although this pilot study revealed that MET-Home scores were not associated with driving outcomes, performance-based assessments such as the MET-Home have the potential to guide occupational therapists when screening clients to determine when further, comprehensive assessment is indicated.
