AGING IN LOW-DENSITY URBAN ENVIRONMENTS: TRANSIT MOBILITY AS A SOCIAL JUSTICE ISSUE

the employ-ment, and Analyses on indicate that older adults in and housework would report better subjective wellbeing, but family caregiving for seniors is negatively associated with subjective wellbeing. Analysis is further conducted within different groups of aging population. As a result, involve in volunta-rism and housework activities are positively related to their life satisfaction among aging people from ethno-cultural or immigration communities. Also, a positive relationship between volunteering activities and subjective wellbeing, and negative relationship between caregiving for senior and life satisfaction/perceived mental health are identified among Canadian born aging people. The findings reveal the different role of family caregiving in later life regarding to subjective wellbeing. Also, with the increasing aging and diversified population in Canada, the findings emphasize the impor-tance of providing better-tailored service to support aging people from varying demographic background. The relationships between quality of life, length of time receiving CDC and socio-demographic characteristics were examined using descriptive statistical and multivariate regression analyses. 484 older people were approached of whom 150 (31%) consented to participate. Mean quality of life scores were 0.56 (sd=0.26) and 0.76 (sd=0.17) according to the EQ-5D-5L and the ICECAP-O respectively. Sub-group analysis revealed slightly higher quality of life scores for both instruments for those in receipt of CDC for ≤12 months [0.57 (0.25) and 0.78 (0.15)] compared to >12 months [0.54 (0.25) and 0.72 (0.18)]. However these differences were not found to be statistically significant. Although little variation was found overall in quality of life outcomes according to the length of exposure to CDC for either the EQ-5D-5L or ICECAP-O, analysis at the dimension level suggested that those with a longer period of exposure had stronger capability in being able to do things that made them feel val-ued. These cross-sectional results should be interpreted with caution and longitudinal follow up is needed to facilitate a detailed examination of the relationship between CDC and its longer-term influences on quality of life. training (BT); 2) on-road training with individualized feedback (OR); and 3) on-road training with individualized feed-back plus training on a driving simulator (ORS) would lead to improvements in older drivers’ on-road driving evaluations. Using a randomized controlled trial (RCT) study design, 43 older drivers (mean age=71.7 years, SD = 4.91) were randomly assigned to one of three groups (BT, BT+OR, or BT+ORS). All participants completed a pre- and post-intervention on-road driving evaluation on a standardized route. The driving evaluations were recorded using video and GPS equipment and were scored by a blind assessor. The results of this study demonstrated that post-intervention driving evaluation scores for the BT+OR and BT+ORS groups when compared to the BT group were sig-nificantly different. While unsafe driving errors showed a 6% reduction in the BT group, BT+OR and BT +ORS group reduced their errors per 23% and 34% respectively. There were no differences between BT+OR and BT+ORS group, thus further research is required to determine the contribu-tion of simulator training on its own.
