  2. The significance of social connections and health in relation to loneliness experienced by older adults living at home: A Qualitative Study
  3. Interpersonal interactions in a community-based intervention targeting loneliness among older adults: An Ethnographic Study
  4. Experiences of participating in a community-based intervention targeting loneliness: An Ethnographic Study
