The Secretary of Health and Human Services, in consultation with the Secretary of Labor and the Director of the National Institute of Mental Health, shall conduct a comprehensive study on the social, economic, and health impacts of screen addiction among men in the United States aged 25 to 64.

In conducting the study, the Secretary shall examine—

(1) the association between screen overuse and increased rates of depression, anxiety, substance misuse, loneliness, and sleep disorders;

(2) the impact of screen addiction on workforce participation, productivity, and economic disengagement;

(3) social isolation and declining participation in family life, marriage, parenting, and civic organizations;

(4) the role of screen overuse in contributing to male withdrawal from education, employment, and interpersonal relationships; and

(5) the cost of screen-related health burdens on Federal and State healthcare systems.

To the extent practicable, the Secretary may include as a part of the study an assessment of—

(1) screen addiction among veterans, unemployed men, and formerly incarcerated individuals; and

(2) geographic breakdowns of screen addiction among adult men, including urban, suburban, and rural differences.

Not later than 18 months after the date of enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall publish on the public internet website of the Department of Health and Human Services a summary of the findings of the Secretary based on the study, including an identification of mental health resources relating to screen addiction among adult men.
