Proposed Project
Older Adult Safe Mobility Assessment
Tool—NEW—National Center for Injury
Prevention and Control (NCIPC),
Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
In 2010, there were 40 million adults
aged 65 or older in the U.S.,
representing 13% of the U.S.
population. By 2030, this segment of the
population will increase to an estimated
72 million or 20%. People now aged 65
are expected to live well into their 80s
with the vast majority preferring to ‘‘age
in place’’ (i.e., grow old in their current
homes). With most adults aging in
place, rather than in retirement or
nursing homes, it is absolutely critical
to better prepare communities and older
Americans for what is on the horizon.
There is widespread agreement that
older adults in the U.S. do not
adequately plan for their future mobility
needs, nor are most aware of existing
mobility resources in their
communities. Thus, when an
individual’s mobility becomes impaired
they are ill prepared to adapt their
lifestyle to their changing needs. A
process of mobility assessment would
begin to address this situation and aid
older adults in meeting their changing
mobility needs.
At present there are numerous
mobility-related assessments actively
used throughout the U.S. Most are
designed to collect information from
just one particular mobility silo, such as
assessments that focus on fall
prevention. None of these existing tools
cut across mobility silos while focusing

on older adults. None create a national
picture of older adult safe mobility that
captures an individual’s physical and
emotional health, their social network,
or the ease of mobility in their home,
transportation, their neighborhood, their
city, and beyond. And no existing older
adult tools are both mobility holistic
and empowerment driven selfadministered assessments. The data
collected in this project will allow CDC
to develop a Tool that can help older
adults both assess and improve their
complete mobility.
This project involves developing,
refining and validating a Safe Mobility
Assessment Tool that allows older
adults to assess their current mobility
situation, learn about mobility
challenges that may affect them in the
future, and receive actionable feedback
on how to improve and protect their
mobility. The information collected in
this project will be used to refine and
improve the Tool, as well as to conduct
feasibility and audience acceptability
analysis of the Tool. This information
will allow CDC to create the most useful
Safe Mobility Assessment Tool possible
for U.S. older adults.
CDC requests OMB approval for one
year to collect both qualitative and
quantitative data in order to develop
and refine the Tool, and assess
feasibility and audience acceptability.
Qualitative data collection will include
key informant interviews, focus groups,
and intercepts in urban and rural
communities. In brief, these methods
will include key informant interviews of
community stakeholders (three
stakeholder interviews in two states for
a total of six key informant interviews);
older adult consumer focus groups (two
focus groups in two states with seven
people each for a total of fourteen
participants); and older adult consumer
intercepts (thirty intercepts in two rural
locations and ten intercepts in two
urban locations for a total of forty
intercepts). The qualitative data
collection will be used to help inform a
quantitative stage of work to include a
national sample of geographically and
socio-demographically diverse older
adults (N = 1,000) who will be recruited
and interviewed by telephone. The key
informant interviews, focus groups,
intercepts and telephone survey data
collection will allow us to gain
information about the feasibility and
usefulness of the Older Adult Safe
Mobility Tool; about what impacts the
Tool may have on older adults (e.g.,
motivation to change/behavior intent,
and changes in knowledge, attitude, and
awareness); about which mobility
domains are most valuable to include in
the Tool (e.g., which are of greatest
