Abstract
Can seniors learn what is included in an AWV through an educational presentation, thus leading to an increase in participation and possible improving of overall health? This study aims to investigate if an educational presentation will be effective in increasing the knowledge of an AWV for senior citizens through a pre and post-test. The pre- test and post test will assess their level of knowledge. It will be a quantitative study using a 10 question survey. The seniors will take the survey once before the presentation and then again after the presentation. The participants will be using a Likert scale to rate the importance of a variety of questions that are included in an AWV. Participants over the age of 65 will be eligible for the study, regardless of sex, gender, religious affiliation, or cultural background.
