About

The first goal (Aim 1) of this clinical trial is to learn about specific strengths, challenges, and desired areas of knowledge and skill-building among older adults who re-entered their communities from a period of incarceration and to then develop a new psychoeducational intervention tailored to these older adults. The second goal (Aim 2) of this clinical trial is to test if the intervention increases chronic disease management and whether the intervention is considered appropriate and acceptable by older adults who re-entered their communities from a period of incarceration.

Aim 2 participants will:
