Understanding Mobility-Related Challenges for AAPI Older Adults

This project will use qualitative and quantitative research methods to understand mobility-related challenges for Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) older adults in order to provide government agencies and organizations such as National Asian Pacific Center on Aging (NAPCA) with recommendations for policy and program changes to pursue. A systematic review of the existing literature will be used to identify the different factors impacting older adults' mobility in AAPI communities. A survey will be conducted to gather information on the daily experiences of AAPI older adults in California. In addition, the research team will conduct in-depth interviews with AAPI older adults to obtain more in-depth information about their mobility-related challenges and issues.
