Description
DeJohn and four co-authors studied older Chinese migrants in the Toronto area in twenty twenty-three. They asked how two routes to social contact, going out into the community and using phones or computers, relate to health. Their survey took place during the long COVID-19 lockdown.
Using a model that tests links between many factors at once, they found going out was tied to less loneliness. Computer and phone use was tied to better physical health, but it did not ease loneliness much. Bus access shaped both routes in opposite ways. The results suggest online contact cannot fully replace trips out of the home for this group.
