Introduction:
Transportation barriers can affect travel needs and quality of life.
Methods:
This survey examined transportation, routine activities, and unmet travel needs among older Vietnamese immigrants, focusing on gender differences.
Results:
Women were more likely to ride with others, less likely to drive, had fewer types of routine activities, and went out for activities less than men. Over 1/4 of the sample had at least one unmet travel need in the previous month (the most common was for visiting family and friends).
Discussion:
Interventions to enhance mobility should address age- and gender-based transportation differences and assess for unmet travel needs.
