Are Health Answers Online for Older Adults?
Cresci, Mary K.; Jarosz, Patricia A.; Templin, Thomas N.
Educational Gerontology, v38 n1 p10-19 2012
The Internet has the potential for engaging urban seniors in managing their health. This study examined computer and Internet use among urban seniors and their interest in using the Internet as a health-management tool. Findings indicated that many participants were interested in storing and accessing health-related information using an elder-friendly health web portal. Further research, using a community of urban older adults as active members of a health portal design team, could provide a unique viewpoint on how the Internet might be used as a health-information and management tool for older adults. (Contains 3 tables.)
