During pandemic-induced isolation, researchers from the University of Minnesota surveyed older adults with vision loss, with hearing loss, or without either condition, asking the participants about their worries, well-being, and social isolation at six-week intervals.

Disruptions to mobility systems affected people with low vision, and masks made conversations especially difficult for adults with hearing loss.

A pilot study at the University of Washington in Seattle has shown that messaging on shifting “drinking norms” could help curb intentions to use alcohol among college students. Young people’s drinking is known to be influenced by their (often erroneous) perceptions of how their peers drink. To date, social norms interventions on campuses have focused on correcting students’ overestimates of how much alcohol their peers are consuming. Such interventions reflect the current state of normative behavior, known as static norms. In contrast, dynamic norms emphasize that a behavioral norm is shifting over time. These norms could be important in health behavior interventions, given emerging evidence that people align their behavior with social norms that they anticipate being prevalent in the future, even more so than the current norm. The new study, reported in Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research, tested the concept of integrating dynamic norms messaging into alcohol interventions.
