简要总结
This qualitative study seeks to assess whether mobile health technologies are helpful for older adults. It is the first in a series of four studies whose overarching goal is to conduct a program of pilot research aimed at developing and evaluating a technology-assisted wellness intervention for older adults with obesity who may or may not live in a rural area.
详细描述
This study is designed and conducted as a series of eighteen individual semi-structured interviews and four focus group discussions. There are three participant groups: 1) older adults (age ≥ 65 years) with diagnosed obesity, 2) primary care clinicians who care for older adults, and 3) community leaders. Focus group discussions are conducted with the older adult cohort only.
