Formative Development of a Multigenerational eHealth Intervention for Grandparents and Grandchildren: The purpose of this study is to (1) collect preliminary data that will inform the development of mock ups for an eHealth intervention designed to improve physical and psychosocial health in older adults and their grandchildren; and (2) explore older adults' interest in a multigenerational eHealth intervention with their grandchildren and elicit feedback on intervention mock-ups.
