Summary
This study will test a program called eHiLLs designed to improve eHealth literacy among Spanish-speaking adults aged 65 and older. The goal is to see if the program is practical and well-received, and to gather data for a larger future study. Fifty participants will be enrolled, and their ability to find and understand online health information will be measured.
