As the National Strategy for an Aging Australia recognises, social isolation is prevalent among older Australians and has been associated with increased risk of depression, suicide, alcoholism and institutionalization (Bishop 2000). People who are less emotionally and socially isolated are more likely to experience less well- being (Hall and Havens 2001). The project aims to investigate the use made of the Internet by people over the age of 55 in order to ascertain the actual or potential role of the Internet in promoting the social participation of older people and in the maintenance or development of social capital and well-being among older adults.
