The co-design process and outputs

Co-design research	Sample size	Key findings	Outputs
Stage 1 – Explore and Quantify Exploratory remote interviews	n = 22 interviews with older adults from urban and rural areas focused on the risks they associated with technology	Data was clustered into five exploratory risk categories that informed subsequent refinement and co-design. Findings included beliefs, feelings and behaviours	A video library of vignettes by and for older adults discussing their perceptions of risk with technology
Stage 2 – Explore and quantify surveys	n = 706 older adults. The largest age category of participants was 70–74 (37.8%). There were significantly more female participants (69.2%)	The study identified six refined categories of perceived digital risk. Older adults’ frequency of participating in digital activities was influenced by perceptions of risk. The findings from the survey and interviews formed a framework for codesign workshops based on persona enrichment and scenario mapping	Facilitator guide and learning materials
Stage 3 – Codesign workshops with end users	n = 6 co-design workshops with older adults. One of the workshops was with CALD communities	Older adults have diverse levels of technology competencies and interests. The sources they use vary and so does the usefulness of these sources	Digital confidence self-assessment tool risk-perception personas (including CALD-specific personas)
Stage 4 – Disseminate dissemination and implementation workshops	n = 4 workshops end-users and organisations working with older adults and technology		Co-design workshops and training sessions Shaping connections website (RMIT + U3A co-owned, creative commons license) Collaborative partnerships with ACCAN and city of Whittlesea
