Effectiveness of interventions tackling loneliness
A literature review
The report provides an overview of the empirical evidence on the effectiveness of interventions tackling loneliness by summarizing available systematic reviews and meta-analyses on this topic. Despite the high relevance, research on the effectiveness of loneliness interventions is still a relatively young endeavour. However, there is an increasing demand for intervention strategies to address loneliness, even in the absence of a solid evidence base. In this context, the systematic reviews and meta-analyses summarized here provide important insights into whether loneliness interventions work, which loneliness interventions are particularly effective, and in which areas more research on loneliness interventions is needed.
