Participants from Lusatia wanted for the "Health in Germany" study series

How healthy are people in Lusatia and neighbouring regions? What is the state of healthcare? What are the local living conditions like? These and other questions shape the new Germany-wide study "Health in Germany" by the Robert Koch Institute - supported by the Lusatian Centre for Digital Public Health (LauZeDiPH) at BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg.

People aged 16 and over have the chance to contribute their personal experiences to current health research. Interested people from the city of Cottbus and the districts of Oberspreewald-Lausitz, Spree-Neiße, Elbe-Elster, Dahme-Spreewald, Görlitz and Bautzen can take part. We are currently looking for women and men of all age groups and in particular young people under the age of 30.
All research results will be published anonymously.

Notes on participation

Participation is voluntary and free of charge. It takes place on the website
www.gesundheit-in-deutschland.de/lausitz.

Participants click on the "To the survey" button and enter their answers as part of the welcome survey. They can then register for the regular surveys in the "Health in Germany" study series and for the "Lusatia Panel".
Alternatively, the published QR code can be scanned to access the online questionnaire for the welcome survey directly.
There is a thank you for every survey.

Important: The number of participants is limited to 500 people. As soon as 500 people have registered for the surveys, registration will be closed.

Participants will receive an online questionnaire from the "Health in Germany" study series every three months. In addition, the "Lusatia Panel" project plans to gather health-related information from the perspective of the population in Lusatia. To this end, participants will be invited to take part in further online surveys.
Based on the information collected, it will then be possible, for example, to develop new approaches to promoting health and preventing illness and to align these with the needs of the people in Lusatia.

The "Lusatia Panel" project is part of the Lusatian Centre for Digital Public Health (LauZeDiPH) at the Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus-Senftenberg (BTU) in Senftenberg.
