Invitation for the Global Initiative on Loneliness and Connection

11.05.2023, by Media Account in announcement

Dear colleagues,

We are contacting you on behalf of the Global Initiative on Loneliness and Connection. We are searching for researchers that self-identify as working on social connection, broadly defined. This could include topics like attachment theory, social connection/isolation, social exclusion, loneliness, social support, romantic relationships, social capital, et cetera. These examples are far from exhaustive, and researchers are welcome to join, whichever scientific discipline they work in.

We would like to invite these researchers to participate in a survey to inform the establishment of an interdisciplinary International Scientific Board. The International Scientific Board will partner with the World Health Organization and national organizations across the globe on new and ongoing projects on social connection, loneliness, and health.

If you identify as being part of this research field, we ask you to take this short survey (https://byu.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_74lgagglbRYRsWi), which we estimate to take between 10-20 minutes.

Sincerely,
Dr Julianne Holt-Lunstad - Chair
Dr Hans Rocha IJzerman - Vice-Chair
Dr Michelle Lim - Vice-Chair
International Scientific Board
