## 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. - 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.
