Abstract

The NIH (National Institutes of Health) Senior Health Project began as a joint undertaking between the National Institute on Aging (NIA) and the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to accomplish two goals. The first goal was to develop comprehensive research-based guidelines on how to make web sites accessible to older adults. The second goal was the implementation of the guidelines in the construction of a web site for older adults to locate health information. This descriptive article outlines the process of developing the guidelines and the building of the web site, http://www.nihseniorhealth.gov, and includes an overview of what was learned as the project evolved.
