Sponsor's own description

Recently, a telephone program, the Telehealth Intervention Program for Older Adults (TIP-OA), was created.

The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of this telephone program (TIP-OA) in reducing stress, improving the mental health of program users, and understand their experiences.
