Sensors worn on the person (e.g., smartwatches), sensors in the home, and community-based resources are providing new data and connecting individuals in ways that promise to improve care. The rapid growth of mobile devices that can be worn or integrated into the immediate environment satisfies a need most humans have for connection and convenience. Through these devices, families and clinicians can develop greater insights into behaviors and, through social networks and other resources, connect individuals sharing common health interests. These resources often originate from commercial products and not from traditional healthcare delivery systems. Their availability is also providing new opportunities for health plans and other stakeholders to participate in care.

Abstract Social networks provide opportunities for engagement with others and structure the receipt and provision of emotional, instrumental, informational and appraisal support. Indeed scholars in this field have documented the importance of having strong social networks in influencing older adults’ well-being and quality of life. The three papers in this symposium draw on the convoy model of social relations and ecological model to examine and better understand the micro, mezzo, macro contexts that shape and influence how older people engage with and benefit from their networks in three areas: low-income senior housing communities, urban areas specifically targeting older Latinos with dementia, and disaster preparedness in micropolitan counties in eastern Iowa. The first paper, a cross-sectional study focusing on social connections in senior housing communities, examines levels of social networks, engagement, support and loneliness and their relationship with well-being outcomes. The second paper, a community-based participatory research project, reports an intervention that seeks to train natural helpers in a predominantly Latino urban neighborhood to identify and refer older Latinos with dementia to bilingual assessment services. The third paper, synthesizing findings from interventions targeting network building at the individual and state levels as well as a community-based network analysis, presents ways to strengthen networks at the mezzo and macro levels as well as environmental contexts that enable better disaster preparedness for community-based older adults. These papers will consider practice, policy and research implications in strengthening social networks and engagement to optimize older adults’ well-being in various settings.

SynopsisOne hundred psychiatric emergencies presenting to an inner London teaching hospital had formal assessments of psychopathology, personality disorder (using both ICD-10 and the Personality Assessment Schedule), social networks and social functioning before being randomly assigned to a multidisciplinary community-based team (Early Intervention Service (N = 48) or conventional hospital-based psychiatric services (N = 52) and treated for a period of 12 weeks. The ICD-10 classification yielded a higher proportion (50%) of personality disordered patients than the Personality Assessment Schedule (34%) and those from ethnic minorities (mainly Afro-Caribbean) and upper social classes had a lower incidence of personality disorder. Social networks were smaller in personality disordered patients and there were fewer attachment figures. Improvement in social function, and to a lesser extent with depressive symptomatology, was better in patients with no personality disorder referred to the community service compared with the hospital service. No differences were found between the numbers and duration of social contacts in the two services and it is concluded that the better outcome in the community-treated patients was independent of changes in social networks.
