Purpose: This study examines the effectiveness of the intervention of community support programs that aims to prevent the social isolation of the elderly.Methods: A quasi-experimental pre-test post-test intervention study was conducted among elderly people living alone aged 70 years and over to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention by comparing the intervention community and the control community.Results: At baseline, isolated elderly people living alone were 29.8%. The intervention group scored more favourably than the control group on two outcome, information registration service, home visits by volunteers. However, no overall effects were observed for the long-term outcome, social isolation.Conclusions: Two years after its initiation the reach of the intervention programme was not found. Though no effect of the complex intervention was found on social isolation, more favourable scores on using social services and having information registration service were induced.
