The Loneliness Epidemic Tailoring Interventions to Reduce Loneliness and Pain

Self-reported pain severity will be recorded using the Brief Pain Inventory Short Form. Scores range from 0 as minimal score meaning no pain or pain interference to 10 as maximum score that equates to severe pain or complete pain interference. Higher scores indicate worse symptoms.

Self-reported loneliness will be recorded using the University of California Los Angeles Loneliness Scale. The range of scores is 20 minimum to 80 as the maximum. The cut-offs for loneliness severity: \<28 = no/low loneliness, 28 to 43 = moderate loneliness, and total score \>43 = high loneliness. Higher scores indicate worse self-reported loneliness. Scores will be compared between groups at baseline and 12-weeks post-intervention.

Self-reported ease of use of the voice assistant routines will be recorded. Score range from a minimum of 0 and a maximum of 100. Higher scores mean better usability: 0-51 "awful" or "poor" usability (significant problems), 51-68 "okay" usability (room for improvement), 68-80.3 "good" usability, 80.3+ "excellent" usability (highly usable system). Scores will be compared between groups at 12-weeks post-intervention.

Self-reported depressive symptoms will be recorded. Scores range from 0 as a minimum to a 15 as a maximum. Higher scores indicate worse depression: 0-4 normal, 5-8 5ild depression, 9-11 moderate depression, and 12-15: severe depression. Scores will be compared between groups at baseline and 12-weeks post-intervention.

Self-reported self-efficacy or confidence in managing pain symptoms will be recorded using Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS). Scores range from a minimum of 0 to a maximum of 100. A score of 50 represents the average. Higher scores above 50 indicate better self-reported self-efficacy in managing pain. Scores will be compared between groups at baseline and 12-weeks post-intervention.
