Connection Check

Feeling lonely — not just having a small social circle — is one of the biggest modifiable risk factors for early death we know of. Research puts its effect on mortality on par with smoking 15 cigarettes a day, and greater than obesity or physical inactivity (Holt-Lunstad et al., 2010; 2015).

This check maps how big your family and friend network is, and how connected you actually feel day to day, combining two validated instruments — the Lubben Social Network Scale (LSNS-6) for network size, and the UCLA-3 Loneliness Scale for how connected you feel (Lubben et al., The Gerontologist, 2006; Hughes et al., Research on Aging, 2004).
