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.
Healthy volunteers accepted: No
Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.
