Lower computer literacy skills overall
Creating technical assistance tools for various stages of the program. Greater promotion of mobile phone interface and use of app for English speakers

Greater promotion of using Omada support staff for assistance. Creating technical assistance tools, that is, video tutorial, handouts with screenshots, and instructions for accessing the sign-up website and completing the account setup process
Need for additional participant communication about each step in the sign-up process
Modifying notification schedule to remind participants more often about where they were in the sign-up process and the expected launch date of the group cohort
Difficulty logging in to the program after signing up
More outreach from the program staff to help participants at the early stage
Desire for more connection with peers in the cohort
Offering a conference call session at the beginning of the program to get group members oriented and connected to one another offline
