Perinatal and infant mental health care in Austria: A mapping of existing prevention, screening and care structures, with a specific focus on Tyrol
Up to 20% of women and 10% of men experience a mental illness during pregnancy and in the first year after birth. Due to the potentially severe effects on parents and child, there is an urgent need for rapid and effective care. This report provides a mapping of current care structures in Austria. The report is part of the FWF-funded research project "Co-designing perinatal mental health care in Tyrol". The report is to seen in connection with another report which has recently been published as part of the project and which describes the international recommendations on perinatal and infant mental health care (https://eprints.aihta.at/1420/1/HTA-Projektbericht_Nr.148.pdf).

Perinatal and infant mental health care models and pathways
Up to 20% of women and 10% of men suffer from mental health problems during pregnancy and in the first year after the birth of the child. Due to the potentially severe impact on parents and child, there is an urgent need for rapid and effective care. This scoping review provides an overview of international models for the prevention and care of perinatal mental health problems and describes their similarities and differences. The review is part of the FWF funded research project ‘Co-designing perinatal mental health support in Tyrol’.

Quality Registries in Dementia Care: Mapping of Registries to improve Quality and Service Delivery
QRs in dementia care are systems to support decision-makers and healthcare planners in developing optimal dementia care pathways while improving the quality of dementia care services and patient outcomes. The aim of the report was to analyse dementia QRs and to provide an overview of the quality indicators used including the underlying evidence. In addition, the empirical results from the identified dementia QRs, in combination with good registry practice from the literature, were embedded into a good practice framework.

Child and adolescent mental health care models
Mental disorders in children and adolescents are among the most common illnesses with a high burden of disease. The increasing need for care with simultaneous bottlenecks in health services leads to considerations for other care and prevention models. In this context, in this research report international models for prevention and care for child and adolescent mental health were analysed. In addition, an overview of relevant indicators specifically for this population was compiled. Based on these international recommendations, possibilities for the further development of the current Austrian care structures were identified.
