Overview

AI-generated summary, not a substitute for reading the source.

This study protocol outlines a four-year pragmatic cluster randomized controlled trial designed to evaluate a multi-level intervention for reducing loneliness among older adults in Hong Kong living in poverty. The research involves 1,344 participants assigned to one of four groups receiving individual, interpersonal, or community-level components delivered by volunteers, compared against an education-only control. The resource details the study's methodology, including primary and secondary outcome measures such as loneliness scales and psychological well-being, as well as data collection timelines and analysis plans.
