Abstract

Social isolation manifests as objectively (social network size) and subjectively (loneliness), and can influence one's health care utilization behaviors. This study explored a mechanistic pathway of social isolation on appointment adherence in older HIV+ patients. Key correlates of appointment adherence in older HIV+ patients are also explored.

Calgary, Alberta, Canada
