Building on the success and learnings of the STEHL Smart Tablet Education for Healthy Living (STEHL) Program was awarded funding by the Region 6 Illinois State Stakeholder Advisory Group (SAG), one of seven Action Plans created by Region 6 SAGs. This webinar 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.
We will hear perspectives from members of the team who collaborated in the implementation of the third phase of the project.
