Tech Wellness for Young Men Act

This bill would require the Secretary of Health and Human Services, working with the National Institute of Mental Health and the Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation, to study how screen addiction affects young men aged 12 to 25 in the United States. The study would look at links between heavy screen use and depression, anxiety, suicidality, violent tendencies, social withdrawal, school performance, relationships, and physical activity. The Secretary would consult with mental health experts, community and youth groups, and professionals in gaming design and social media ethics. Within 18 months, the Secretary would send a report to Congress and post it on the department's website, including which groups of young men are most affected.
