A new survey suggests Kiwis could get out more.
According to the 2015 Sovereign Wellbeing Index, 40 per cent of New Zealanders meet other people socially just once a month.
The index also suggests that we are not close to our communities - only four per cent of people surveyed said they felt a strong connection with their community.
29 countries were surveyed - we came last.
Grant Schofield professor of public health at AUT University, who led the research, says there has been no improvement on the 2013 survey.
