Perceived Risk of Loss of Driving & Alternative Mobility Planning
项目名称: Perceived Risk of Loss of Driving & Alternative Mobility Planning
摘要: Driving is the primary mode of transportation for the vast majority of adults in the United States and losing the ability to drive is a major threat to older adults� independence, especially those living in low-density areas. Losing the ability to drive is a risk often less considered when thinking about older age. However, it may have a major impact on people�s lives and may incorporate additional risks such as social isolation or the need to move. This research aims at understanding people�s perceptions of risks related to a future loss of driving and their attitudes and plans around alternative mobility options such as dependence on spouses, friends or public transportation, but also the use of ride shares or self-driving cars. This research also aims at investigating potential interventions to influence people�s perceptions and attitudes, which in turn may support them in planning for older age.
