The Austrian Institute for Health Technology Assessment (AIHTA) has analysed international care models and pathways as well as the situation in Austria with regard to perinatal mental health. The two reports published are part of a project funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF) to improve perinatal mental health in Tyrol, which is led by the Medical University of Innsbruck. „The international comparison showed how important an integrated overall concept for prevention, early detection and treatment is. However, the Austrian care structure deviates considerably from the international recommendations,“ emphasises Ingrid Zechmeister-Koss, deputy director of the AIHTA.
