Social-Ecological Correlates of Loneliness Among Young Adult U.S. Males.

Purpose: Social disconnection, such as loneliness, is recognized as a significant public health concern in the United States, and young adult males may carry the greater burden of this issue when compared with their female peers. Little is known about the correlates of loneliness for this population. This study examines the social-ecological correlates of loneliness in young adult males.
