Abstract

The research team developed a community-based, intergenerational intervention, the Spanish-language Healthy Buddy Program to alleviate transportation barriers experienced by Latinx older adults. College students were paired with Latinx older adults and helped them identify transportation- and health-related resources in their communities. During COVID-19, the program was implemented in Hillsborough County, Florida, and Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex and San Antonio, Texas. This paper reports the study process and outcomes using quantitative and qualitative data collected in Texas (n = 25). Individual interviews indicated older adult participants were receptive to the program model and appreciated the roles student buddies played to help improve their mobility.

发展以社区为基础的代际干预以减轻交通障碍:拉丁裔老年人的健康伙伴计划

研究团队开发了一项基于社区的代际干预措施，即西班牙语健康伙伴计划，以缓解拉丁裔老年人的交通障碍。大学生与拉丁裔老年人配对，帮助他们确定社区中的交通和健康资源。新冠肺炎期间，该计划在佛罗里达州希尔斯伯勒县、达拉斯-沃思港大都会和德克萨斯州圣安东尼奥市实施。本文使用在德克萨斯州收集的定量和定性数据（n=25）报告了研究过程和结果。个体访谈表明，年长的参与者接受该项目模式，并赞赏学生伙伴在帮助提高他们的行动能力方面发挥的作用。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2022 APA，保留所有权利）
