摘要
Research confirms the adverse health effects of social isolation and loneliness, with increasing focus on finding effective solutions. This article describes themes that can inform program and intervention design: multiple underlying causal factors may require a tailored approach; the time course of relationships and disease development versus length of interventions; the protective effects of relationships based on naturally occurring or existing close relationships; not all relationships are positive, and negativity in relationships is associated with greater risk. If ignored, these themes could lead to reduced effectiveness or harm. The article also outlines key components to evaluating interventions.
