Mini & Steven published a study on whether a program of empathetic conversations delivered by laypeople via telephone can reduce loneliness, depression, and anxiety in at-risk older adults? results were conclusively yes.

Happy to see our results reported in @JAMAPsych support the "8-minute phone call". But, for us, those receiving calls decided for how long, Hi & Bye or 30 mins. Ceding control also has benefits! @DellMedSchool @Health4Texas https://t.co/ZY743jJesZ htt
