Brief Summary
This project aims to test a culturally appropriate assistive technology (AT) intervention called VIVE-AT to help older Latinos with disabilities improve their function and quality of life. The researchers will first refine the VIVE-AT program based on feedback from a Community Advisory Board and focus groups with older Latinos with disabilities. Then, 76 older Latinos with disabilities will be recruited from a primary care clinic serving low-income communities in Puerto Rico. They will be randomly assigned to either receive the VIVE-AT intervention in the primary care clinic or be placed on a waitlist with regular phone calls. All participants will continue to receive standard care at the clinic.
