Abstract

In late 2023, the Dutch Ministry of Health, Welfare, and Sport launched an advisory on the social network that people need to avoid feeling lonely and to stay healthy. The advisory emphasizes the importance of the social network for health and includes suggestions for strengthening it. The advisory is presented in this paper. A qualitative formulation was chosen because there was not an unequivocal threshold value for a healthy social network. The social network advice was formulated by the Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC) of the ‘Eén tegen Eenzaamheid’ (One against Loneliness) program. The authors of this article are members of the SAC.
