Detailed Description

This study aims to implement and evaluate an eHeath literacy workshop that trains women to take advantage of the digital media available to them so that they can use it to their advantage- set appointments, search for doctors, critically read and understand health information, search for information about medications, diseases, health habits and more. A three-session workshop (each session 1.5-2 hours) will take place via the web (for example -on zoom), or as a frontal workshop, (if MOH guidelines permitting due to COVID-19). The groups will have up to 20 participants, taking into account dropout rates of target population. Data will be collected at the first session, and at the last session. This program offers an interactive ehealth literacy workshop for men and women ages 45-75. The workshop, given by Pollin Center staff, will provide participants with the skills and tools to enable safe web surfing, search effectively for information, identify credible health information, as well as critically read and understand online information. It will also empower participants with the confidence and ability to use the information they access in achieving better personal health - allowing them to actively engage in their own care. Additionally, the workshop will review the basic services provided by HMO platforms, including the option to make appointments and search for other HMO services.
