<jats:title>Purpose</jats:title>
<jats:p>The Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale represents an internationally established inventory to assess population mental well-being. Particularly the short form (SWEMWBS) is recommended for use in Mental Health Surveillance. In the present study, we present normative data of the SWEMWBS for the German adult population.</jats:p>

<jats:title>Methods</jats:title>
<jats:p>Data from the telephone survey German Health Update (GEDA) in 2022 representative of the German adult population (48.9% women, 18–98 years) was processed to estimate SWEMWBS percentile norm values, T-values, z-values and internationally comparable logit-transformed raw scores for the total sample (<jats:italic>N</jats:italic> = 5,606) as well as stratified by sex, age group and sex with age group combinations.</jats:p>
</jats:sec><jats:sec>
<jats:title>Results</jats:title>
<jats:p>The average mental well-being was comparable to that of other European countries at <jats:italic>M =</jats:italic> 27.3 (<jats:italic>SD</jats:italic> = 4.0; logit-transformed: <jats:italic>M =</jats:italic> 24.79, SD = 3.73). To provide a benchmark, the cut off for low well-being was set at the 15th percentile (raw score: 23; logit-transformed: 20.73), for high well-being at the 85th percentile (raw score: 32; logit-transformed: 29.31).</jats:p>
</jats:sec><jats:sec>
<jats:title>Conclusion</jats:title>
<jats:p>The present study provides SWEMWBS norm values for the German adult population. The normative data can be used for national and international comparisons on a population level to initiate, plan and evaluate mental well-being promotion and prevention measures.</jats:p>
