Details: A Surgeon General’s Advisory is a public statement that calls the
American people’s attention to an urgent public health issue and provides
recommendations for how it should be addressed. Advisories are
reserved for significant public health challenges that require the nation’s
immediate awareness and action.
This advisory calls attention to the importance of social connection for
individual health as well as on community-wide metrics of health and
well-being, and conversely the significant consequences when social
connection is lacking. While social connection is often considered
an individual challenge, this advisory explores and explains the
cultural, community, and societal dynamics that drive connection and
disconnection. It also offers recommendations for increasing and
strengthening social connection through a whole-of-society approach.
The advisory presents a framework for a national strategy with specific
recommendations for the institutions that shape our day-to-day
lives: governments, health care systems and insurers, public health
departments, research institutions, philanthropy, schools, workplaces,
community-based organizations, technology companies, and the media.
