In June 2012 the "Sexual Health" section of the German STI Society (DSTIG) adopted a set of indicators for sexual health in order to depict the sexual health status of people in Germany, as well as to plan and evaluate activities for the improvement of sexual health as a whole. The compiled indicators are measures for determining sexual health in Germany. A logical, convincingly conclusive and yet manageable list of indicators is presented on the basis of the draft submittals of the World Health Organization (WHO). The selected indicators reflect the German situation and are at the same time highly comparable internationally. Potential users of the document are health experts, policy developers, researchers, and other health care professionals.
