Survey
This is the first and only evidence-based national survey spanning 25 years, that offers a more comprehensive view of social connection in the United States. It was designed to measure a wide range of the key components of social connection at both the individual and community levels. The survey also includes items related to demographics, health, well-being, and lifestyle behaviors.
The survey utilizes validated, standardized measures to align with federal measurement efforts and global recommendations, thereby creating a trusted benchmark for national and state-level comparisons.
The survey was administered to over 10,000 people by Ipsos, which provides statistically valid online research through KnowledgePanel®, the original and most well-established online panel in the United States.
