The majority of Germans (61 percent) perceive social interaction in the country as "rather poor" or "very poor." This continues the trend of recent years, as social cohesion in society crumbles. Currently, 30 percent report a significant deterioration in social interaction. This is shown by a current Forsa survey* commissioned by DAK-Gesundheit. Respondents perceive negative changes primarily in public spaces (84 percent) and online (78 percent). At the same time, the vast majority believe that better social interaction can also have positive effects on health. Against this backdrop, DAK-Gesundheit and politics are launching the competition "Faces for Healthy Interaction 2025." For the fifth time, they are seeking exemplary projects in the areas of health, prevention, and care. The DAK competition is running in all 16 federal states and is supported by state premiers and numerous top politicians.
