Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Health Literacy

    Using the FLIGHT/VIDAS health literacy scale, change in health literacy will be assessed at baseline, 6 weeks and three months.

    Baseline, six weeks, and three months.

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Mood

    Baseline, six weeks, and three months.

  • Sleep quality

    Baseline, six weeks, and three months.

  • Patient Activation

    Baseline, six weeks, and three months.

Study Arms (2)

Tailored Intervention

EXPERIMENTAL

Individuals will interact with a chronic disease self-management application that provides information tailored to age, race, language (English or Spanish) and level of health literacy.

Behavioral: Tailored Intervention

Control

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Individuals will interact with a chronic disease self-management application that provides the same information as the experimental intervention but is not personally tailored to level of health literacy.

Behavioral: Control Intervention

Interventions

The intervention will focus on improving the health literacy of low literacy individuals by providing chronic disease self-management information tailored to cultural and linguistic characteristics of participants.

Tailored Intervention

This intervention will provide information similar to that provided in the control condition, but will not utilize tailoring.
