Brief Summary

By the health reform GKV in 2000 as well as by the competitive strengthening law GKV in 2007 in §20 SGB V the health insurance schemes have received an enlarged action frame in the primary prevention and the operational health support. Through these paragraphs arises the possibility for citizens to let refund health-supporting programmes or health training of the health insurance schemes. Doctor's recommendation is one of the most important predictors by therapy decisions of patients. At the same time, primary prevention takes a very small part of the working hours of general practitioners. Hence, is the aim of the present study to examine whether and how general practitioners could be incorporated in the mediation of prevention's offers. To reach this aim, must be grasped first, to what extent general practitioners are already integrated into in the mediation of the primary prevention courses. There is up to now no information about whether general practitioners know about the GKV-improved prevention programmes for GKV-insured person and whether they are involved in their mediation. This research project will close this gap. The aims of the study are:

1. 1.to explore the roll of primary prevention in the general practitioner's consultation
2. 2.to analyse which social institutions are responsible for primary prevention according to the general practitioner's opinion
3. 3.to explore which primary prevention's programmes do general practitioners in their consultation recommend
4. 4.to analyse which factors play a role in the mediation
5. 5.to explore whether general practitioners with §20 are familiar.
