Health Information Outreach Award 68

The project that we want to do is teaching Participants how to use the Internet/Computer to find reliable health information online using the MedlinePlus.gov and NN/LM SE/A websites. We want to pair Senior Citizens with 87 so that the 87 could teach the Senior Citizen how to use the different types of technology laptop, iPads, tablets, cellphones, etc. to find reliable health information using the Internet. We plan to reach as many Participants in our Community as possible because they don't have access to the internet nor do they know how to use the different types of technology. The camcorder will be used as another form of communication multimedia Participants will produce short videos/PSA's that demonstrate key points in finding reliable health information online using MedlinePlus.gov as well as issues relevant to health disparities.
