The results were cited in media reports and used in public debates about prostitution and sex work policy.Berliner Zeitung – "Neue Studie: So viele Prostituierte gibt es in Deutschland" (2023)BILD – "Wie funktioniert Sexarbeit eigentlich als Beruf?" (2024)  

The survey was also discussed in national outlets such as Welt and Deutschlandfunk.Welt – "Sex Work Well-Being Survey 2024"Deutschlandfunk – "Sexkaufverbot – Nordic Model Debate"
