Brief Description:
This project aims to understand the relationship between emotional wellbeing, social isolation, loneliness, and chronic disease. This is a significant gap in current knowledge, due to a lack of representation of people with chronic disease in previous research. This study is the second in a series of three studies, with the goal of developing interventions to reduce loneliness and social isolation in people living with chronic diseases.
