Friendly calls combat loneliness and suicide risk in seniors
NCT ID NCT07204444
Summary
This study tested whether regular supportive phone calls could improve mental health in older adults who receive meal services and may feel lonely or isolated. Over 670 participants aged 55+ either received 8 weeks of 'warm calls' from trained helpers or were in a comparison group. Researchers measured changes in loneliness, depression, anxiety, and feelings of connection to see if the calls helped.
