We are so excited with the results of the first pilot trials of LISTEN. LISTEN is a 5 session, 10 hour cognitive behavioral intervention that demonstrated effectiveness for diminishing loneliness. Further, participants reported high acceptability and implementing LISTEN was feasible with efficient use of resources.

Are Your Patients Lonely?
Consider asking your patients about loneliness. Given that loneliness is related to functional decline and mortality, it is important that we know if patients are lonely and that we make a plan for treatment! LISTEN gives healthcare providers an option!
