Maddy summaryHCONRES 106 designates the week of September 19-23, 2022, as "Malnutrition Awareness Week" to highlight the widespread issue of malnutrition in the U.S., which disproportionately affects vulnerable groups like children, older adults, and communities of color. The resolution recognizes that malnutrition contributes to health disparities, higher medical costs (e.g., 300% more for hospitalized patients), and is linked to poverty and food insecurity. It supports existing federal nutrition programs, such as the Older Americans Act and child nutrition initiatives, and encourages better access to malnutrition screening and nutrition services without creating new laws or funding. As a symbolic resolution, it aims to raise public awareness and promote prevention efforts rather than enact policy changes.

USAID must also select countries based on specified malnutrition-related indicators for purposes of targeting malnutrition prevention and treatment programs and update the selection within five years. Additionally, USAID may establish the Nutrition Leadership Council to coordinate federal government activities to prevent and treat malnutrition; and target resources and nutrition interventions to the populations most susceptible to severe malnutrition and otherwise support efforts to prevent and treat malnutrition globally. The act also requires USAID to provide to Congress an implementation plan and annual reports concerning its programs for treating and preventing malnutrition. The act's provisions terminate seven years after its enactment.
