Bill > HR6680

This bill, titled the "Tech Wellness for Men Act," directs the Secretary of Health and Human Services to conduct a comprehensive national study on the effects of screen addiction among adult men aged 25 to 64. This study, to be completed and published within 18 months of the bill's enactment, will examine the connections between excessive screen use and issues such as depression, anxiety, substance misuse, loneliness, sleep disorders, and withdrawal from education, employment, and family life. It will also assess the economic consequences, including impacts on workforce participation and productivity, and the financial burden of screen-related health problems on healthcare systems. The study may also specifically look at veterans, unemployed men, formerly incarcerated individuals, and differences in screen addiction across urban, suburban, and rural areas, with the ultimate goal of identifying mental health resources for affected men.
