“…The studies that conducted RCTs all found significant improvement for outcome measures from pre- to post-intervention [ 18 , 20 , 34 , 44 , 46 , 47 , 61 ]. Likewise, the studies using a one group, pretest and posttest research design all identified significant improvements for outcome measures [ 19 , 30 , 35 , 36 , 48 - 54 ]. The remaining five studies [ 45 , 55 - 58 ] used a variety of research designs (eg, quasi-experimental design [ 56 ] and post-hoc analysis of an RCT [ 45 ]) or relied on qualitative data [ 55 ].…”

“…The studies used a variety of research designs, consistent with the broad selection criteria used in our searches. Just under half (11/23, 48%) used designs with pretest and posttest of a single condition [ 19 , 30 , 35 , 36 , 48 - 54 ], while one study used a quasi-experimental design [ 56 ]. RCTs defined as “trials that include at least one experimental condition, along with a control condition, and randomize the assignment of participants to a condition” [ 59 ], were used in seven studies (30.4%) [ 18 , 20 , 34 , 44 , 46 , 47 , 61 ].…”

BackgroundeHealth resources offer new opportunities for older adults to access health information online, connect with others with shared health interests, and manage their health. However, older adults often lack sufficient eHealth literacy to maximize their benefit from these resources.ObjectiveThis review evaluates the research design, methods, and findings of eHealth literacy interventions for older adults.MethodsA systematic review of peer-reviewed research articles from 28 databases in 9 fields was carried out in January 2013. Four rounds of screening of articles in these databases resulted in a final sample of 23 articles.ResultsFindings indicated a significant gap in the literature for eHealth literacy interventions evaluating health outcomes as the outcome of interest, a lack of theory-based interventions, and few studies applied high-quality research design.ConclusionsOur findings emphasize the need for researchers to develop and assess theory-based interventions applying high-quality research design in eHealth literacy interventions targeting the older population.

“…The majority of the knowledge outcomes were based on self-perceived measures of knowledge, with the exception of two studies [29], [31]. Carter et al [29] applied a brief test of diabetes knowledge as part of a survey pre- and post-intervention, whereas Gross et al [31] measured knowledge of credible online health resources via a pre-test and post-test questionnaire based on items covered in the interactive workshop.…”

Interventions to Assist Health Consumers to Find Reliable Online Health Information: A Comprehensive Review

et al. 2014

BackgroundHealth information on the Internet is ubiquitous, and its use by health consumers prevalent. Finding and understanding relevant online health information, and determining content reliability, pose real challenges for many health consumers.PurposeTo identify the types of interventions that have been implemented to assist health consumers to find reliable online health information, and where possible, describe and compare the types of outcomes studied.Data SourcesPubMed, PsycINFO, CINAHL Plus and Cochrane Library databases; WorldCat and Scirus ‘gray literature’ search engines; and manual review of reference lists of selected publications.Study SelectionPublications were selected by firstly screening title, abstract, and then full text.Data ExtractionSeven publications met the inclusion criteria, and were summarized in a data extraction form. The form incorporated the PICOS (Population Intervention Comparators Outcomes and Study Design) Model. Two eligible gray literature papers were also reported.Data SynthesisRelevant data from included studies were tabulated to enable descriptive comparison. A brief critique of each study was included in the tables. This review was unable to follow systematic review methods due to the paucity of research and humanistic interventions reported.LimitationsWhile extensive, the gray literature search may have had limited reach in some countries. The paucity of research on this topic limits conclusions that may be drawn.ConclusionsThe few eligible studies predominantly adopted a didactic approach to assisting health consumers, whereby consumers were either taught how to find credible websites, or how to use the Internet. Common types of outcomes studied include knowledge and skills pertaining to Internet use and searching for reliable health information. These outcomes were predominantly self-assessed by participants. There is potential for further research to explore other avenues for assisting health consumers to find reliable online health information, and to assess outcomes via objective measures.

“…Within the first group, all of the studies were held within libraries with each conducting pre-and postknowledge tests or satisfaction surveys (Schwartz et al 2002;Campbell and Five of the seven studies were focused on improving Internet competence and usage (Broering, Chauncey, and Gomes 2006;Campbell and Nolfi 2005;Gross, Famiglio, and Babish 2007;Hoffman-Goetz, Friedman, and Celestine 2006;Schwartz et al 2002); one study was researching the improvement of health literacy using photo novels within the Spanish-speaking population (Valle, Yamada, and Matiella 2006); and the last study was examining the effectiveness of using adult education courses to teach functional health literacy skills individuals with low literacy (Freedman et al 2011). …”

Current Programs and Future Needs in Health Literacy for Older People: A Literature Review

Inadequate health literacy occurs more amongst older adults and can result in difficulties synthesising information and communicating with health professionals, increased emergency visits and hospitalizations, poor uptake of preventative interventions, increased mortality, and ultimately greater health care costs. A literature review was conducted that identified 12 articles that discussed and examined health literacy interventions among older adults. It revealed few papers exist which highlight programs that examine health literacy outcomes for older adults. The review identified evidence-based best-practice models of health literacy interventions need to be further developed to meet the health literacy needs of aging population.
