Summary

The purpose of this project is to pilot test a long-term effect of Tab-G (tablet-based cognitive behavioral group education intervention). The investigators will evaluate the effect of Tab-G, relative to usual care group, on (a) daily steps, (b) fatigue level, (c) self-efficacy and (d) quality of life. Tab-G participants will receive 4 weekly CBT-based group education focusing on shared goal setting and mutual reinforcement in a group with 5 members. The outcomes will be measured baseline, week 4 (intervention completion) and week 8 (follow-up). The investigators hypothesize that older adults receiving Tab-G will have greater improvements on outcomes compared to those receiving usual care at week 4, the intervention completion and at week 8 follow-up.
