Impact of Internet Use on Loneliness and Contact with Others Among Older Adults: Cross-Sectional Analysis

Impact of Internet Use on Loneliness and Contact with Others Among Older Adults: Cross-Sectional Analysis

As Cotten and colleagues [59] have shown, researchers must go beyond merely including simple measures of Internet usage; they must also examine the type, amount, timing, and function of use because these can influence outcomes in a variety of ways. Although there is much evidence to indicate that Internet use can be beneficial for older adults in overcoming social isolation or loneliness, more research is needed, especially among older adults in continuing care communities.
