AGES 2.0 Research Procedure overview

Overview The number and quality of social relationships has important consequences for individual health and well-being. People with broader social networks, and who are active across multiple social groups: -Adjust to change better (Iyer et al., 2009) -Are more resilient (Jones & Jetten, 2011; Cohen et al., 1997) -Live longer (Holt-Lunstad, et al., 2010) Supporting individuals to create and maintain social connections is an important focus for public health (Cacioppo & Hawkley, 2003)

Overview Aging coincides with: -Reduced physical mobility -Difficulties of communication -Increased social isolation -Reduced cognitive and mental health Social media has the potential to overcome physical constraints, improve communication and social connections and through this support health and well-being.

Overview Early studies (McConatha et al., 1994, 1995) show positive effects of training older adults in care to use online computing facilities: -Improved daily living skills -Improved cognitive function -Reduced depression More recent work (Slegers et al, 2008; White et al., 2002) suggests few psychosocial benefits of computer and internet training for older adults in the community.

Current Aims To investigate further the effects of social media training on older adults: -Feelings of social inclusion -Cognitive functioning -Mental health and well-being To compare the effects of social media training across older adults in care and those residing in the community

Current Aims Social Media Training Social Media Training Social Inclusion Social Inclusion Cognitive Health Cognitive Health Mental Health Mental Health Use
