Safe Drivers Smart Options Strategy: Awareness Among Michigan Older Adults, Caregivers and Professionals
Year: 2023
Type: report
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: In this project, UMTRI conducted Safe Drivers Smart Options (SDSO) strategy and website awareness surveys among Michigan older adults, caregivers who provide transportation assistance to older adults, and professionals who serve/interact with these two groups regarding aging and transportation. UMTRI compared these results to similar surveys conducted in 2016. The results showed: awareness of the SDSO strategy phrase and website is low and has stayed the same or decreased since the 2016 surveys; older adults, caregivers, and professionals are interested in having information about advanced driver assistance systems; use of the Internet to find transportation and aging related information is increasing for both older adults and caregivers; the transportation-related information that the three groups seek is generally available on the SDSO website; and the primary types of assistance given by Michigan caregivers is related to getting older adults to and from destinations.
