Sexual health literacy means knowing about sexual health and being able to make responsible, informed decisions. This means, for example, that I know how infectious diseases such as HIV are transmitted and how I can protect myself against them. Or it can mean that I know the influence of alcohol and drug consumption on my sexual behaviour. But sexual health literacy can also mean that I can negotiate and bring about safe, positive sexual experiences that affect my wellbeing.

We want to give young people a positive, respectful approach to sexuality and sexual relationships. They should be able to have sexual experiences that are as pleasurable and safe as possible, free from repression, discrimination and violence. This is how we want to promote their sexual health. This is not only (but also) about preventing pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections (STIs). In addition to STIs, the content can also cover sexual practices, pregnancy/birth, abortions, sexual violence, contraception, partnership and homosexuality - everything that interests the young people themselves and where they may need a little help and information at the beginning.

You have a crucial role to play when it comes to your children's sexual health. If you openly discuss sexuality and talk about contraception, young people will use contraception more responsibly, for example. You are (still) a central point of contact for young people. Perhaps there are sometimes situations where you yourself don't quite know how to explain something. Perhaps you sometimes feel a little uncomfortable talking about your own experiences. Or there are topics where you don't know exactly where to get information.

We would like to support you in this and develop a programme that, for example, helps you to communicate better with your child, impart sexual knowledge and thus also improve the sexual behaviour of young people. Anything that helps you to share your experiences can also help your child. In the study, we would like to find out from you what such a programme should be able to do to really help you and which topics you find particularly important.

We would like to support you with digital tools. The programme can therefore be a website, for example, but also an app that you can access on the go. The programme can accompany you for a shorter period of time or draw your attention to topics at longer intervals. It can be a programme that contains information primarily for you or encourages exercises together with your children. It can include various sexual health topics or address a very specific issue that has perhaps been troubling you for some time.
