Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a one-arm pilot trial to test the feasibility and acceptability of the intervention Digital Literacy Pilot Intervention to Address Support, Literacy and Communication in Older Adults. Each participant will receive 4-6 home visits with 3-4 interim phone calls based on the participant's individual digital literacy needs and goals. Each participant will receive internet connectivity (if not already available), a tablet (if not already available) and tailored action plans co-developed by the participant and the interventionist. In each participant will also have pre and post-intervention visits with the research team.

In earlier phases, research team members conducted preliminary activities to design the intervention using Human-Centered Design techniques.
