Implication

Single-group pre-post study demonstrates increased digital literacy skills in low-income older adults, highlighting community-engaged learning potential to reduce the digital divide.

Key Points

Digital literacy training improved technology confidence across 18 older adults, who also demonstrated better attitudes toward their own aging.
Single group pre-post study evaluated an eight-week intervention pairing 27 undergraduates with community elders for weekly design thinking.
Highlights that community-engaged learning can bridge the digital divide, though further trials are needed to confirm scalability and health outcomes.
