Registration is open for the NNLM webinar ” Scalability of Community-Based Participatory Research: Older Adults and Technology”. It will take place on Thursday, October 23, from 1:00 to 2:00 PM CDT. Please see below for more information, including the link to registration.
This webinar builds on the success and learnings of the STEHL Smart Tablet Education for Healthy Living (STEHL) Program, which was awarded funding by the Region 6 Illinois State Stakeholder Advisory Group (SAG) and was one of seven Action Plans created by Region 6 SAGs. The presentation explores how community-based participatory research (CBPR) can be scaled to reach broader populations of older adults through technology. As digital literacy becomes increasingly vital for health and well-being, especially among seniors in retirement communities, this session will examine strategies for expanding digital education initiatives, while maintaining the integrity and impact of community engagement.
Objectives
- Explore methods for engaging older adults in digital health literacy programs.
- Identify key factors that influence successful expansion, including partnerships, funding, and cultural considerations.
- Learn from real-world examples and outcomes of scaled digital health education efforts.
The webinar is worth 1.00 hour of MLA CE credit. Region 6 is the sponsor.
