Study Summary

This trial found that regular museum visits may help reduce social isolation in elderly people living in cities.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for older adults aged 65 and over who live in urban areas, can use the internet with a device like a computer or smartphone, and expect to live at least another three months. They should be able to understand and write either French or English. People already in another clinical trial or who have done art-based activities at the MMFA cannot join.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study is testing if weekly museum tours at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts over three months can help reduce social isolation among seniors, potentially improving their health, social interactions, and overall quality of life.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Since this intervention involves participatory art-based activity rather than medical treatment, traditional side effects are not expected. However, participants may experience fatigue or emotional responses from social engagement.
