Improving Measurements for Loneliness and Isolation Act of 2025

This bill would require the Secretary of Health and Human Services to create a national Working Group on Unifying Loneliness Research. The group would make recommendations for standard ways to measure loneliness and isolation and for standard definitions of these terms. Members would include senior officials from several federal health agencies, plus one representative from each of six states chosen based on mental health professional shortage numbers. Within one year, the group would send a report to certain congressional committees and post it online, and the section would end at the close of 2027.
