Fostering Agricultural Relationships and Meaning - Thriving on Kinship Study
This study is looking for 65 adults living in agricultural areas who feel lonely or disconnected. It compares two approaches: Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Perceived Social Isolation, which helps address thoughts and feelings that contribute to loneliness, and Health Education, which provides information on healthy living. The goal is to see if these interventions can reduce loneliness, anxiety, and depression over six months. To join, you must be 18 or older, understand English, have internet access, and score high enough on a loneliness scale. The current recruitment status is unclear.

Anxiety will be measured using the PROMIS tool. The scores range from 4-20 with higher scores indicating worse outcome.
- Mean change in depressionBaseline to 6 months
Depression will be measured using the PROMIS tool. The scores range from 4-20 with higher scores indicating worse outcome.
- Mean change in social interactionsBaseline to 6 months
Duke Social Support Index assesses several domains of perceived social support, including social network size, social interaction, social satisfaction, and instrumental social support. Higher scores indicate a higher quality of social interactions. Scores range from 0 to 37.
