: All study protocols and materials were approved by the University of Massachusetts Lowell Institutional Review Board (IRB), approval number 19–112-QUI-XPD. All study procedures were followed in accordance with the ethical standards of the responsible committee on human experimentation (institutional and national) and with the Helsinki Declaration of 1975, as revised in 2000. In addition to the IRB, the client phone interview methods and materials were reviewed and approved by the Massachusetts Elder Rights Review Committee. All study participants provided the informed consent to participate either (i) by completing and returning an online informed consent form before the phone interview session, or (ii) by completing a verbal informed consent procedure on the phone before the interview session. Both informed consent procedures were approved by the same University of Massachusetts Lowell IRB that approved the entire study.
