Digital Health Literacy for Older Adults: A Rapid Scoping Review

Summary


This research topic was initially submitted by a patient-partner through the Strategy for Patient-Oriented Research – Evidence Alliance (SPOR-EA). Following careful review by a multi-stakeholder panel of researchers, healthcare professionals, and policy-makers, it was identified as a high-priority area and refined into a research question with the support of patient-partners’ lived experiences. The project aims to explore the strategies, interventions, and resources that support digital health literacy among older adults.
