*Fast Facts:*
- *Transportation barriers can hinder healthcare utilization.*
- *Lack of transportation limits low-income households’ access to
healthy food.*
- *Public transit services can be absent or inadequate in neighborhoods
in need.*
- *Senior, chronically-ill individuals experience limited mobility.*
------------------------------
Populations with diabetes can successfully manage their condition if they
have regular access to primary care along with access to quality food,
physical, and social environments that support healthy lifestyles.
Lack of safe, convenient, and affordable transportation options can make it
difficult for low-income populations to access these resources.
A research team led by Georgia State University will use a *randomized
trial to test several low-cost ways of improving transportation
opportunities for low-income urban diabetic patients*, including providing
public transit vouchers, a cash benefit, or mobility counseling compared
with usual medical care alone.
The team will estimate the impact of these mobility enhancements on access
to care, diabetes progression, healthcare utilization and costs.
The research team will collaborate with Grady Health System, the
Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority, the Atlanta Regional
Commission, and the Atlanta Regional Collaborative for Health Improvement
to conduct the study
