Summary

This study is testing whether weekly, supportive phone calls can improve mental health for homebound older adults. Over 8 weeks, trained volunteers will call 400 participants to provide social connection and support. Researchers want to see if these calls reduce feelings of loneliness, depression, and suicide risk, and if the program is practical for community organizations to run long-term.
