What is this Indicator?
This indicator shows the percentage of adults who report they rarely or never get the social and emotional support they need. |
| Why this is important: Social and emotional support refers to the subjective sensation of feeling loved and cared for by those around us. Research has shown that individuals with social and emotional support experience better health outcomes compared to individuals who lack such support. For example, when individuals are exposed to stress, emotional support has been shown to decrease stress hormones and reduce blood pressure. In addition, it has been shown that social and emotional support have beneficial effects on recovery time post cardiac surgery, coping with cancer pain, and overall longevity. |
| Technical Note: The regional value is compared to the Wyoming state value.The value is an estimate for the five-year measurement period. This estimate may not include data from each year of the five years. |
