connectedness of individuals within communities.

interventions:
Insufficient Evidence to Determine Effectiveness was found for the
following interventions:
Mixed Evidence was found for the following interventions:
(none)
Sufficient Evidence for Ineffectiveness was found for the following
interventions:
(none)
Limitations/Comments:
As demonstrated by the lack of research, it remains unclear how to
effectively improve social connectedness in order to improve health
outcomes. Researchers in this field are still concerned with establishing
the relationship between social connectedness and health. Perhaps once
this relationship is proven, research into the effectiveness of
interventions to improve social connectedness will commence.
