计算机和互联网为老年人提供了改善健康的资源。对于许多老年人来说，“数字鸿沟”（存在于使用电脑的人和不使用电脑的人之间的社会、经济和人口因素）是利用这些资源的障碍。通过使老年人更容易使用计算机和互联网并使在线健康信息更易于使用来弥合数字鸿沟，有可能改善老年人的健康。本文描述了一项通过建立社区大学伙伴关系来缩小城市老年人数字鸿沟的战略，该伙伴关系的目标是通过使用在线健康信息来改善健康和福祉。（老年护理2010；31:45 -463）
Computers and the Internet offer older adults resources for improving health. For many older adults, the "Digital Divide" (the social, economic, and demographic factors that exist between individuals who use computers and those who do not) is a barrier to taking advantage of these resources. Bridging the Digital Divide by making computers and the Internet more accessible and making online health information more usable for older adults has the potential to improve health of older adults. This article describes a strategy for closing the Digital Divide for urban seniors through the formation of a community university partnership with the goal of improving health and well-being through the use of online health information.
