Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Ethnically diverse older adults meeting the following criteria:
  • 1\. Being at least 50 years\-old
  • 2\. Being fluent in English if this is their second language (in order to minimise confounding our findings with levels of acculturation).
  • 3\. Being willing and able to attend all six sessions of our one\-on\-one training (even if our control/waitlist participants will first receive six weekly visits, not the training).
  • 4\. Staying in the area for the next two months
  • 5\. Being able to access a computer at their home (a common occurrence in most homes)

Exclusion Criteria

  • Participants who:
  • 1\. Reside in an institutional setting
  • 2\. Are unable to grant informed consent (i.e. are not fluent in English enough to fully comprehend the content of the consent form)
  • 3\. Have more than ?minor? computer technology experience (operationalized as having turned a computer on and off, or having viewed other people utilize computer technology to write documents or use the internet). As a result of implementing these three criteria, all our participants will be computer and internet illiterate (i.e. non\-users of the technology taught in our training).
