Sponsored By: Representative Flood, Mike [R-NE-1]

Introduced

Summary

This bill would direct the Secretary of Health and Human Services to create a national Working Group to produce recommendations for standardized measurements of loneliness and isolation. The group would also develop shared definitions and assess how past public and private methods line up.

Show full summary
  • Researchers and health-care providers would get consistent measurement tools and definitions to compare loneliness and isolation across studies and patient groups.
  • Federal agencies would coordinate on measurement and use; the group would include senior representatives from HHS, NIH, CDC, CMS and others, meet at least 3 times, and deliver a public report within 1 year.
  • States would be represented by six governors’ designees: three from States with the highest practitioner shortfalls and three from the lowest, to bring diverse state perspectives.
  • The public would get standard definitions for education and awareness to improve clarity across health, policy, and community programs.
