The Social Connection Index (SCI) is the first behavioral measure of social connection that predicts everything from social support, well-being, trust, bridging, and overall life satisfaction. It is a simple, actionable measure that unites the field and creates a shared foundation for strengthening connection.
Social Connection Index Dashboard
The SCI dashboard breaks down the Six Points of Connection to provide clear and actionable insights for change and policymakers across the country.
Introducing the Social Connection Index
The Six Points of Connection 2026 is based on a representative survey of U.S. adults based-on age, income, region, and gender. A total of 1,997 adults completed a 25-item questionnaire assessing key behaviors and indicators of social connection.
