Identifying Complex Scheduling Patterns Among Patients With Cancer With Transportation and Housing Needs: Feasibility Pilot Study

Identifying Complex Scheduling Patterns Among Patients With Cancer With Transportation and Housing Needs: Feasibility Pilot Study

However, to our knowledge, researchers have yet to design tools for analyzing scheduling data to identify patients with possible unmet transportation or housing needs during their cancer care. Our study used existing scheduling data to identify patients with complex scheduling patterns which may reflect unmet social needs in transportation and housing.

Toward Safe and Confident Silver Drivers: Interview Study Investigating Older Adults’ Driving Practices

Toward Safe and Confident Silver Drivers: Interview Study Investigating Older Adults’ Driving Practices

For many, having a car and using it as their primary mode of transportation were testaments to their ongoing commitment to maintaining their driving skills: I think driving skills improve on how often you drive. If you don’t drive, then you never get improved. If you keep driving, then you will improve, and keep improving. I have a car, I drive everywhere. And as far as possible, if I have to go anywhere within a certain radius, I prefer to drive rather than take public transportation.

Adapting Transportation Planning e-Tools to Older Adults’ Needs: Scoping Review

Adapting Transportation Planning e-Tools to Older Adults’ Needs: Scoping Review

Thus, there is a need to provide accessible and affordable transportation options and support older adults in transportation planning and selecting the means of transport that best fit their needs and preferences [10]. Transportation planning e-tools have become increasingly popular around the world, providing information about different means of transport and helping people get to their destinations quickly and easily [11].

Regional Difference in the Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Domain-Specific Physical Activity, Sedentary Behavior, Sleeping Time, and Step Count: Web-Based Cross-sectional Nationwide Survey and Accelerometer-Based Observational Study

By contrast, people living in urban areas had a longer duration of SB and transportation and a shorter duration of MVPA and lying or napping time compared with people living in rural areas (P Table 4 and Figure 2 show changes in ST, SB, transportation, and MVPA before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. A significant decrease was observed in transportation time (−7.2 min/day, P Figure 3 shows the relationship between the changes in PA and SB during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Developing a One-Stop Platform Transportation Planning Service to Help Older Adults Move Around in Their Community Where, When, and How They Wish: Protocol for a Living Lab Study

Developing a One-Stop Platform Transportation Planning Service to Help Older Adults Move Around in Their Community Where, When, and How They Wish: Protocol for a Living Lab Study

For example, a decline in physical abilities, such as balance [2], may increase risks when walking, such as falling on icy sidewalks or not having enough time to cross the road at traffic lights, or when using public transportation, such as when getting on and off the bus. A decline in cognitive abilities [3] and lack of digital literacy [4] can lead to difficulty planning outings and understanding public transportation options.

Impact of SMS Text Messaging Reminders on Helmet Use Among Motorcycle Drivers in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania: Randomized Controlled Trial

Impact of SMS Text Messaging Reminders on Helmet Use Among Motorcycle Drivers in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania: Randomized Controlled Trial

Men are particularly at high risk of road traffic injury because nearly all drivers of motorcycle taxis (“bodabodas” in Kiswahili, or “bodas” for short), a major form of public transportation in the country, are men. Studies have shown that helmet use can significantly reduce disability and death resulting from road traffic injuries [2]. Research conducted in Tanzania has shown that a lack of helmet wearing increases the probability of fatality in a motorcycle accident [3].
