Presentation / Conference
MacLeod, C., Canvin, K., Sacker, A., Netuveli, G., & Windle, G. (2017, July). USING TECHNOLOGY IN LATER LIFE: QUALITATIVE INSIGHTS INTO ACTUAL AND PERCEIVED BARRIERS. Presented at 21st International Association of Gerontology and Geriatrics (IAGG) World Congress, San Francisco, CA, USA

Poor health is known to predict social exclusion in later life, however this relationship is moderated by internet and technology use. People’s approach to technology varies and older adults are known to engage less with technology and its associated...
