Loneliness Check-In (UCLA)

A validated measure of subjective feelings of loneliness and social isolation.

About This Questionnaire

The UCLA Loneliness Scale measures subjective feelings of loneliness and social isolation. Loneliness is distinct from being alone — it's the perceived gap between desired and actual social connection.

What It Measures

• Feeling left out or isolated
• Quality of social relationships and companionship
• Sense of belonging and being understood
• Frequency of feeling alone even among others

Important Note

Chronic loneliness has serious health implications — it is associated with elevated cortisol, increased inflammation, and a 26% increased risk of premature mortality. Recognizing loneliness is the first step toward addressing it. Results are private and stored only on your device.
