AB  - Participation of people with schizophrenia in individual mobility is an important 
      aspect of inclusion according to the UN convention of human rights of persons 
      with disabilities. However, driving motorized vehicles can be dangerous due to 
      positive, negative, and cognitive symptoms, side effects of antipsychotic drugs 
      and concomitant substance abuse. The objective of this study was to explore the 
      patterns of individual mobility in a representative patient population, to 
      determine predictors for active use of motorized vehicles, and to compare the 
      results with data of the general population in the respective region. We 
      interviewed N=150 participants with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder, 66 
      in-patients and 84 out-patients, in different types of out-patient services. A 
      questionnaire developed for this purpose was used in interviews. 64% of the 
      participants had a driving licence, 32% had driven a motorized vehicle in the 
      past year, 31% owned a car, 2% a motor bike. The driving licence had been 
      withdrawn from 24.7% of participants, 32.7% reported having been involved in a 
      road accident. Participants drove considerably less in time and distances than 
      the general population. Significant variables determining the chance of active 
      use of motorized vehicles in a logistic regression model were Global Assessment 
      of Functioning (GAF) (OR 1.04 per each point), number of previous admissions (OR 
      0.52 per admission), and history of driving under alcohol or drugs (OR 0.18).
