Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tennessee, United States, 2. University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah, United States  \nDigital literacy (DL), the ability to understand and use digital technology, is crucial for older adults’ mental and physical well-being. Using an academic and community partnership model, investigators developed an evidence-based, 8-week, in-person digital literacy program (DLP) for low-income older adults in an African American community to examine effects on participants’ DL abilities. Participants were recruited from two senior centers. The DLP curriculum was based on the Mobile Device Proficiency Questionnaire (MDPQ) subscales (e.g., mobile device basics, communication, date/file creation and storage, internet access, software management). All participants received a personal electronic tablet. Reinforcement of the DLP curriculum and social support was provided through weekly engagement with volunteer student nurses. Pre/post digital literacy was measured using the MDPQ. Forty older adults participated in the program and completed an initial baseline survey on digital literacy tasks. Compared to baseline assessments, statistically significant improvements were noted for 17 tasks, which participants felt were “very easy” or “somewhat easy” to perform.  \nTasks with the strongest improvements included the ability to find information about local community resources (pre: 9, 25% [vs. post: 20](vs. post: 20), 50%, p\u003C.001) and about hobbies and interests (pre:  \n11, [27.5% vs. post:](27.5% vs. post:) 19, 47.5%, p\u003C.001), and the ability to enter events and appointments into a calendar (pre: 6, [15% vs. post:](15% vs. post:)[ ](15% vs. post:)[16](16), [40%](40%), [p](p)\u003C[.001](.001))[. Digital literacy](. Digital literacy) programs for older adults are wise investments for both private and public funding sponsors.  \nThe academic and community partnership model is an effective way to support nonprofit organizations that lack resources.","cbCaigInYaI5evwC","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigInYaI5evwC","pdf",739559,"English","# Program design and goals\n## Participant recruitment and curriculum\n## Delivery and support mechanisms\n## Measurement approach\n## Results and key task improvements\n## Implications for funding and nonprofit capacity","[{\"question\":\"What was the purpose of the digital literacy program for older adults?\",\"answer\":\"To examine whether an evidence-based, in-person digital literacy program improves older adults’ digital literacy abilities and supports mental and physical well-being.\"},{\"question\":\"How was the curriculum structured in the 8-week program?\",\"answer\":\"It was based on MDPQ subscales covering areas such as mobile device basics, communication, date/file creation and storage, internet access, and software management.\"},{\"question\":\"How were improvements in digital literacy measured?\",\"answer\":\"Participants completed baseline and post-program assessments using the Mobile Device Proficiency Questionnaire (MDPQ), and significant gains were identified for 17 tasks.\"}]","BUILDING DIGITAL LITERACY IN THE OLDER ADULT - No. S2 - Research summary | PDF",1790644751]
