Description
INVESTIGATING THE ROLE OF PUBLIC TRANSIT ON HEALTH BEHAVIORS AMONG OLDER ADULTS WITH DISABILITIES - PROJECT SUMMARY 11.2 MILLION (23.5%) OLDER ADULTS REPORT DIFFICULTY TRAVELING OUTSIDE THEIR HOMES, MAKING LIMITED TRANSPORTATION ACCESS A STRUCTURAL BARRIER TO HEALTH. WITH OVER 7 MILLION NON-DRIVING OLDER ADULTS AND 7-10 NON-DRIVING YEARS AT THE END OF LIFE, ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION OPTIONS ARE NEEDED. LACK OF PUBLIC TRANSIT ACCESSIBILITY CAN DISPROPORTIONALLY HARM OLDER ADULTS WITH DISABILITIES AND MAY IMPACT HEALTH BEHAVIORS, SUCH AS PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND SOCIAL PARTICIPATION. PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND SOCIAL PARTICIPATION ARE KEY COMPONENTS OF HEALTHY AGING, ASSOCIATED WITH COGNITION, QUALITY OF LIFE, AND MORTALITY. TO THIS END, IDENTIFICATION OF MODIFIABLE PUBLIC TRANSIT FEATURES, AND THEIR IMPACT ON PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND SOCIAL PARTICIPATION AMONG OLDER ADULTS WITH DISABILITIES IS CRITICALLY NEEDED. THE PROPOSED RESEARCH WILL EXAMINE THE ROLE OF PUBLIC TRANSIT ON PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND SOCIAL PARTICIPATION AMONG OLDER ADULTS WITH AND WITHOUT DISABILITIES. THIS RESEARCH WILL COLLECT PRIMARY DATA ON PUBLIC TRANSIT ACCESSIBILITY FEATURES AND LINK THEM TO THE NATIONAL HEALTH AND AGING TRENDS STUDY. SPECIFICALLY, THIS RESEARCH WILL ADDRESS THE FOLLOWING AIMS: 1) EXAMINE IF SELF-REPORTED PUBLIC TRANSIT USE IS ASSOCIATED WITH PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND SOCIAL PARTICIPATION AMONG OLDER ADULTS WITH AND WITHOUT DISABILITIES, 2) DETERMINE IF THE ACCESSIBILITY OF PUBLIC TRANSIT SYSTEMS IS ASSOCIATED WITH PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND SOCIAL PARTICIPATION BEHAVIORS AMONG OLDER ADULTS, 3) TEST THE HYPOTHESES THAT PUBLIC TRANSIT USE PARTIALLY MEDIATES THE LINK BETWEEN PUBLIC TRANSIT FEATURES AND (A) PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND/OR (B) SOCIAL PARTICIPATION AMONG OLDER ADULTS. THE PROPOSED USE OF NHATS, A RICH, INTEGRATED DATA SOURCE WILL ALLOW FOR INVESTIGATION INTO WHETHER PUBLIC TRANSIT USE INTERACTS WITH DISABILITY STATUS TO RESULT IN DIFFERENTIAL PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND SOCIAL PARTICIPATION (AIM 1)
