Participant Characteristics Associated With Loneliness Reduction During a Digital Social Robot Intervention Among Older Adults Living Alone in Japan: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial
Abstract
Among community-dwelling older adults living alone, less frequent preintervention social contact was associated with greater reductions in loneliness during a social robot intervention. Future trials should examine whether preintervention social contact modifies the effects of social robot interventions.
