Understanding the role of digital technologies in addressing loneliness

这个社会学项目旨在开发一种新的方法来理解数字技术在克服孤独方面的作用。该团队预计将产生新的知识，了解孤独的人如何使用数字技术并应用于政策和计划，使用创新方法探索不同的观点，获得帮助孤独的澳大利亚人的基本知识，并建立急需的研究能力孤独和数字技术的社会学。这应该会带来显著的好处，例如深入了解影响人们使用数字技术解决孤独感的社会文化因素，以及为有效的战略和政策提供基于证据的支持。

This sociological project aims to develop a new approach to understanding the role of digital technologies in efforts to overcome loneliness. The team expects to generate new knowledge of how digital technologies are used by people who feel lonely and applied in policies and programs, using an innovative approach to explore different views, gaining the essential knowledge for assisting lonely Australians, and building much-needed research capacity in the sociology of loneliness and digital technologies. This should provide significant benefits such as a deep understanding of the sociocultural factors that influence people’s use of digital technologies to address loneliness, and evidence-based support for effective strategies and policies.
