Evidence Briefing - Digital Exclusion

The Health and Care Research Wales Evidence Centre are pleased to invite you to an online Evidence Briefing session for the following report:

A rapid review of the effectiveness of interventions for addressing digital exclusion in older adults

 

Background

Older adults constitute the largest proportion of non-users of the internet. With the increasing digitalisation of services, in particular those provided in social care in Wales, it is important to understand how best to support older adults to overcome the challenges they face with accessing or engaging with the digital world (for personal use). This rapid review aimed to assess the effectiveness of interventions to address digital exclusion in older adults (aged 60 years and above).
