ABDI Webinar: Learning Through Crisis - Evaluating the Public Health Impact of Remote Behavioral Change Programs for Older Adults During COVID-19
The Aging and Disability Business Institute at n4a is holding a webinar February 10, "Learning Through Crisis - Evaluating the Public Health Impact of Remote Behavioral Change Programs for Older Adults During COVID-19."
Since the advent of COVID-19, community-based social service organizations in the aging sector have pivoted to deliver evidence-based programs (EBPs) remotely to reach older adults who are sheltering at home. The Evidence-Based Leadership Collaborative (EBLC) began learning from this crisis in Spring 2020 through surveys, interviews and conversations with EBP participants and leaders, AAAs and other community-based organizations, EBP administrators and policymakers.
During this webinar, presenters from EBLC will share findings from their evaluation on whether and how these proven in-person programs are working when adapted to be delivered by phone, mail or video-conferencing. The webinar will:
- Describe how in-person Evidence-Based Programs (EBPs) have pivoted to remote program delivery by phone, mail, video-conferencing and online;
- Discuss opportunities and challenges for delivering EBPs remotely and best practices for adapting in-person EBPs to improve program reach, outcomes and delivery; and
- Offer tools and resources to improve remote EBP delivery for older adults experiencing disparities in access to cares.
