AI Summary

This bill, the Assessing Health Evaluations to Advance Decision-making Act of 2022 (AHEAD Act of 2022), directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to enter into an arrangement with the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (or another appropriate entity) to conduct a study on the potential benefits of incorporating tools that measure the impacts of proposed federal legislation, including in areas outside of healthcare, on health and health disparities. The study will examine how such tools could be integrated into the federal legislative process to improve population health outcomes, and will consider recommendations on using behavioral and nudge research to develop evaluative tools for policymakers.
