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.
