BackgroundSocial isolation is associated with increased all-cause and premature mortality, poor chronic disease management, and mental health concerns. Limited research exists on interventions addressing social isolation among individuals under 65 despite its increasing prevalence among young and middle-aged adults.AimTo identify interventions from the extant literature that address social isolation and loneliness in ambulatory healthcare settings in adults aged 18-64, and to identify elements of successful studies for future intervention design.Design & settingSystematic review of interventions targeting social isolation in community-dwelling adults aged 18-64 within ambulatory healthcare settings.MethodA search strategy was developed to identify relevant articles in the following databases: Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, EBM Reviews, Scopus, CINAHL and PsychInfo. Data were extracted on study design and setting, intervention type, outcome related to social isolation/loneliness and scale of measure used.Results25,078 citations were identified and underwent title and abstract screening. 75 articles met our inclusion criteria and were synthesised, including an assessment of bias. Effective interventions were delivered in community health settings, incorporated a group component, and used digital technologies. They also addressed the association between mental health and social isolation using CBT approaches and enhanced self-management and coping strategies for chronic conditions through psycho-educational interventions.ConclusionFuture research should prioritise adults living in low- and middle-income countries, racialized individuals, as well as those with fewer educational opportunities. There is also a need to advance research in primary care settings, where longitudinal patient-provider relationships would facilitate the success of interventions.

Objectives Individual-level information about negative life events (NLE) such as bankruptcy, foreclosure, divorce, and criminal arrest might improve the accuracy of machine learning models for suicide risk prediction. Individual-level NLE data is routinely collected by vendors such as Equifax. However, little is known about the acceptability of linking this NLE data to healthcare data. Our objective was to assess preferences for linking external NLE data to healthcare records for suicide prevention. Materials and Methods We conducted a discrete choice experiment (DCE) among Kaiser Permanente Washington (KPWA) members. Patient partners assisted in the design and pretesting of the DCE survey. The DCE included 12 choice tasks involving 4 data linking program attributes and 3 levels within each attribute. We estimated latent class conditional logit models to derive preference weights. Results There were 743 participants. Willingness to link data varied by type of information to be linked, demographic characteristics, and experience with NLE. Overall, 65.1% of people were willing to link data and 34.9% were more private. Trust in KPWA to safeguard data was the strongest predictor of willingness to link data. Discussion Most respondents supported linking NLE data for suicide prevention. Contrary to expectations, People of Color and people who reported experience with NLEs were more likely to be willing to link their data. Conclusions A majority of participants were willing to have their credit and public records data linked to healthcare records provided that conditions are in place to protect privacy and autonomy.
