Summary
The focus of the study is to evaluate the expanded version of PRISM 1.0 for a broad array of seniors with different needs and circumstances. The aims of the study are to: 1) obtain information on perceptions of the usefulness and usability of PRISM 2.0 and interface design issues; 2) examine the impact of access to PRISM 2.0 on social connectivity, engagement, social support, and perceived loneliness; 3) examine the impact of access to PRISM 2.0 on perceived isolation, well-being, and quality of life; 4) examine the impact of access PRISM 2.0 on computer attitudes, self-efficacy, technology proficiency and technology uptake; 5) gather data on usefulness of system features and if these vary by living condition; and 6) examine, in our statistical models, the influence of factors such as age, cognitive abilities, ethnicity, education on system use and outcomes.
